PILOT optical alignment
Baptiste MOT
IRAP, France
PILOT is a balloon-borne astronomy experiment designed to study the polarization of dust emission in the diffuse interstellar
medium in our Galaxy at wavelengths 240 µm and 550 µm with an angular resolution of a few arc-minute. PILOT optics is
composed an off-axis Gregorian type telescope and a refractive re-imager system. All optical elements, except the primary mirror, are
in a cryostat cooled to 3K. We combined the optical, 3D dimensional measurement methods and thermoeslastic modeling to perform
the optical alignment. I will present the system analysis, the alignment procedure, and finally the performances obtained during the
second flight in March 2017.
