Description
We introduce the concepts for the control and data handling systems of the European Solar Telescope (EST), the main functional and technical requirements for the definition of these systems, and the outcomes from the trade-off analysis to date. Concerning the telescope control, EST will have performance requirements similar to those of current medium-sized night-time telescopes. On the other hand, the science goals of EST require the simultaneous operation of three instruments and of a large number of detectors. This leads to a projected data flux that will be technologically challenging and exceeds that of most other astronomical projects. We give an overview of the reference design of the control and data handling systems for the EST to date, focusing on the more critical and innovative aspects resulting from the overall design of the telescope.

    NEOMIR: ESA's space-based infrared mission for NEO detection and early warning
    The Near-Earth Object Mission in the Infra-Red (NEOMIR) is the first ESA's space-based mission fully dedicated to discovering near-Earth objects (NEOs), with a focus to detect and raise early warning for the smaller objects that are coming from the Sun direction, thus nearly impossible to be detected by ground-based optical survey. NEOMIR is

    Upgrading the polarisation modulation unit of the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    The Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) is installed at the Gregor telescope at Observatorio del Teide, Spain. The instrument started observations in 2012 and underwent several upgrades in the following years. Currently, it is experiencing the most significant upgrade so far, which includes, among other things, adding two optical channels to

    Small-ELF Telescope opto-mechanical system: progress on design, manufacturing, and tensegrity prototyping
    Small-ELF (SELF) is a 3.5-meter telescope currently entering the manufacturing phase and will serve as a technology precursor for the much larger telescope named ELF (Exo-Life Finder). The primary objective of the proposed design approach is to to radically improve the system's capabilities for the detection of biomarkers and life in the
