Abstract
A method for inspection of the Millimetron Space Observatory telescope multi-element mirror system for its adjustment after deployment in the orbit is proposed in the paper. A laser range finder is used for preliminary inspection of the reflector element positions, and the optical Foucault knife-edge method is applied for the final inspection. The optical scheme of the control system for the final adjustment of the telescope is calculated and presented. The results of modeling images obtained with deflected reflector elements are reported. The results of calculating the optical system implementing the Foucault knife-edge method are presented.
