Abstract

The ELT Phasing and Diagnostic Station (PDS), is a multi-purpose optomechanical system providing metrology tools to phase the segmented primary mirror of the ELT and hosting the sensors required to verify AO-assisted diffraction limited image quality at the ELT. The purpose of the PDS in the context of the ELT lifecycle is twofold. On one side, during the AIV phase of the ELT, the PDS will be the fundamental tool enabling commissioning of the telescope. On the other hand, during operation, the PDS will provide the essential metrology means to monitor performance and detect and isolate potential failures within the observatory. The project, which is one of the most important internal development endeavors at ESO, passed PDR in mid-2021 and underwent an optical final design review in late 2021, where challenges associated to the schedule were identified and more time was given to optimize the design. The project underwent a restructuring in early 2022 before starting its final design phase which has been successfully completed in 2023. In the same period all procurements concerning critical long lead items have been launched. The present contribution first introduces the project in the context of the ELT construction programme, outlining the project structure and the project management tools employed for planning and progress monitoring. Subsequently, the main system engineering processes used within the project will be described. Finally, we report on the main technical results obtained during the final design phase and the plans for the assembly, integration and test of the system.
