Did you know Pelican Engineering manages and executes projects like the AEOS Telescope Dome Modernization?

Almost 2 miles high on a dormant volcano, 4,000 miles from home base, inside a national park.

That's where Justin Courville, our Director of Mechanical Engineering, served as lead engineer and project manager for this multi-year, multi-million-dollar program for Boeing and the U.S. Space Force. Justin ran it end-to-end and was hands-on for the installation of the full motion control system, including eight 20-foot hydraulic cylinders.

Behind the install was three months of buckling analysis on a non-traditional cylinder mount, using Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain and verified with FEA. The completed system holds 0.0001 inch positional tolerance and under 0.040 inch of skew across a 174-inch stroke.

Huge respect to Controlled Fluids, Aggressive Hydraulics, Delta Motion, and Boeing for their roles in this project. We're proud of the part we played in modernizing the largest optical telescope system in DoD inventory.
