- Liquid_mirror_space_telescope abstract "A liquid mirror space telescope is a concept for a type of reflecting space telescope which uses a reflecting liquid such as mercury as its primary reflector.There are several designs for such a telescope:1. Twirled Pail: A pair of objects, one the mirror assembly and the other a counterweight possibly containing a camera assembly, are spun up to induce centripetal acceleration on the surface of the mirror assembly.2. Half Toroid: A hollow torus (a doughnut or spare-tire shaped object) is spun up to maintain centripetal acceleration against the inside wall. The camera assembly sits in the center. The torus width is arbitrarily large. Optional other pieces include a large flat mirror in the center to allow randomly orienting the mirror without frequently changing the axis of spin.3. Balloon: A balloon with a reflective liquid on the inside is spun up and it deforms itself into a parabolic shape. A flat mirror on the inside reflects light to the concave surface.Regardless of the specific configuration, such a telescope would be similar to an earth-based liquid mirror telescope. However, instead of relying on Earth's gravity to maintain the necessary parabolic shape of the rotating mercury mirror, it relies on artificial gravity instead.Other possibilities for inducing a parabolic shape in the reflecting liquid include: magnetic fields on a viscous and partially magnetic liquid; internal pressures or surface tension effects on a reflective liquid; creating the telescope while the reflective surface is liquid but depending on cooling effects to solidify the surface and then using that as the telescope main mirror.The concept is seen as an enabler of very large optical space telescopes, as a liquid mirror would be much lighter to deploy and cheaper to construct than a conventional glass mirror of comparable performance.".
