Estimate of the environment impact of the ELT instrument MOSAIC

Abstract:

MOSAIC is an instrument for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). The instrument has started phase B, and apart from technical and financial requirements, MOSAIC has the additional requirement to investigate and minimise its environmental impact. The first step is to estimate the carbon footprint (and other effects) in a ‘Life Cycle Analysis’, for the instrument development up to Provisional Acceptance in Chile. This paper presents a preliminary analysis, aimed at identifying potential contrib...
