ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT: thermo-electro-mechanical budget and architecture

Le résumé fourni par la source

The ANDES instrument is progressing toward its Preliminary Design Review (PDR), and both the overall architecture and the associated budgets have now reached a consolidated level of definition. This proceeding presents the current system architecture, highlighting the main design drivers and the constraints that shape the instrument’s development. Emphasis is placed on the thermo–electro–mechanical budget, detailing how thermal stability, electrical routing, structural performance, and subsystem interactions influence the layout and the mechanical concept. The analysis includes the identification of critical interfaces, key performance limitations, and the trade-offs adopted to comply with both scientific and engineering requirements. This work provides an overview of the rationale behind the architectural choices and outlines the challenges that ANDES faces as it moves toward the next phases of the ELT development cycle.
