Milestone: Tertiary mirror substrate for the ELT delivered
SCHOTT produces substrates for four of the five mirrors of the ESO telescope / Series production for the giant mirror to start in the spring

The SCHOTT technology group is manufacturing the material for a total of four out of five mirrors for the precise view into space that will be provided by the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) at ESO (European Southern Observatory). It is considered to be the world’s most powerful telescope in the future. After components for the segmented fourth mirror (M4) had already been delivered in 2016 and the world’s largest convex 4.2 m secondary mirror (M2) in 2019, the tertiary mirror substrate (M3) has now left the SCHOTT headquarters in Mainz. The glass-ceramic substrate, which measures four meters in diameter, is ten centimeters thick and weighs 3.2 tons. It will be finely polished by the French company Safran Reosc for several months before it begins its journey to Chile on top of the Cerro Armazones that is over 3,000 meters high. The ELT is scheduled to have its “First Light” in 2025. Astronomers want to use the giant telescope (total value EUR 1.1 billion) to track down exoplanets outside our solar system, gain detailed knowledge of stars and galaxies in the still young universe and unravel the mystery of dark energy.

ARaymondlife, groninger and SCHOTT team up to demonstrate flexible and agile aseptic manufacturing at CPhI Worldwide
With ever more new pharmaceutical drug products entering the market, pharmaceutical companies are facing new challenges when it comes to fill and finish. These processes now need to adapt to different output speeds, changeover times or the ability to process nested containers i.e. syringes, cartridges or vials on one filling line. In particular, pharma companies in biotech or cell and gene therapy development as well as large pharma manufacturers with CMO activities are consequently in need of flexible approaches in fill and finish. One such approach will be demonstrated at this year’s CPhI Worldwide in Frankfurt, Nov. 5-7, by ARaymondlife, Groninger and SCHOTT at booth 111F10. More
