Telescope Creation

Support broadly shareable telescope creation and concept-development work for AAO, including non-sensitive requirements, optical and systems trade studies, proposal narratives, interface assumptions, and review checklists. Use only when the content is safe for general AAO or approved-collaborator circulation.

Telescope Creation

Workflow

  • Confirm that the work is not restricted, commercially sensitive, security-sensitive, controlled, partner-private, or dependent on clearance assumptions.
  • Start by identifying science case, observing mode, aperture, field of view, wavelength range, site assumptions, instrument interfaces, schedule, and validation criteria.
  • Keep requirements, assumptions, trades, risks, and decisions separate.
  • Prefer traceable requirement language over broad claims.
  • Use references/ and scripts/ only when relevant supporting material has been added.

Output Expectations

  • Produce requirements outlines, concept notes, trade summaries, or review comments in the requested format.
  • Flag missing technical constraints, integration risks, operational assumptions, and evidence gaps.
  • Put sensitive design constraints or protected partner context in AAO-restricted-skills.
