TMT’s APS includes all the necessary hardware, software, and interfaces to the Telescope Control System and M1, M2, and M3 control systems required to accomplish precise alignment of all TMT’s mirrors. The APS will have the capability to phase the 492 M1 segments so they behave as one unique single mirror of 30 meters in diameter.
