The Galileo project comprises the design, building, and operation of a 3.5 m Italian telescope the main elements (diameter, mechanical structure, active optics, etc.) of which consist of a duplication of the ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT). Modifications have been introduced in order to allow, beyond the f/11 Nasmyth foci, a prime focus f/2.2 station, a trapped f/6 focus, and a small Cassegrain f/20 facility. Other changes with respect to the NTT have been made to the control and data acquisition system, and to the service building. The telescope could be operational at the end of 1992.

Abstract
The Galileo project comprises the design, building, and operation of a 3.5 m Italian telescope the main elements (diameter, mechanical structure, active optics, etc.) of which consist of a duplication of the ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT). Modifications have been introduced in order to allow, beyond the f/11 Nasmyth foci, a prime focus f/2.2 station, a trapped f/6 focus, and a small Cassegrain f/20 facility. Other changes with respect to the NTT have been made to the control and data acquisition system, and to the service building. The telescope could be operational at the end of 1992.File in questo prodotto:
