Control Panel Renewal (Vacuum Deposition Unit)
The Subaru Telescope is located at the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii, in the United States. If the telescope's mirror is not regularly cleaned, its field of view will become dark. Therefore, the mirror must be regularly cleaned (renewed for a new reflective surface). Because the Subaru Telescope's primary mirror is extremely large, measuring 8.2 meters in diameter, a dedicated vapor deposition system is located at the summit of Mauna Kea. (A vapor deposition system is a device used to create a reflective surface on the mirror's surface.) |

Sanko contacted by the NAOJ and assisted in the renovation of this vapor deposition system. Research and consideration began in 2021, design began in 2022, control panel manufacturing began in 2024, and on-site installation began in 2025. |
