Keck Adaptive Optics Note # 767 - Draft AO Enclosure Preliminary Design

1. Scope and objectives The scope of the preliminary design of the AO enclosure includes mating the AO bench correctly to the AO enclosure (including instruments) and conceptualizing the integration of all of the new and existing AO enclosure support systems, including electronics and controls, cable routing, the thermal management system, the air quality control system, and an infrastructure for a maintenance system. An analysis of the current and future utility requirements will also be made in order to identify any shortcomings for the new system. Lastly, since much of the infrastructure already exists, a portion of this design work was allotted towards identifying any interference that may require attention during the detailed design phase.
