8 October 2010LOTIS facility initial operational capabilities: flexible user interfaces
The Large Optical Test and Integration Site (LOTIS) at the Lockheed Martin Space Systems
Company in Sunnyvale, CA, has successfully reached Initial Operational Capability (IOC).
LOTIS is designed for the verification and testing of optical systems. The facility consists of a
large, temperature stabilized vacuum chamber that also functions as a class 10k cleanroom.
Within this chamber and atop an advanced vibration-isolation bench are the 6.5 meter diameter
LOTIS Collimator and Scene Generator, LOTIS alignment and support equipment. IOC included
completion of the entire facility as well as operation of the LOTIS collimator in air. Wavefront
properties of the collimator will be described as well as facility vibration isolation properties and
turbulence levels within the collimator test chamber. User-specific test capabilities will also be
addressed for two major areas of concern.
