Brief

The Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) is a leading research center in Germany, focusing on particle physics. This contract opportunity involves the manufacturing of components for the Optical Support Structure (OSS) of the Medium-Sized Telescopes (MST) for the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO). The MST will play a crucial role in gamma-ray astronomy, with the first two Pathfinder telescopes being constructed in Chile. The OSS, primarily made of steel, will support a telescope with a 12-meter diameter reflector made up of 86 hexagonal mirror segments. The OSS is designed for precise movement, allowing the telescope to point to any location in the sky within 90 seconds. Suppliers are invited to participate in this significant project that aims to enhance our understanding of high-energy phenomena in the universe.
