Integration Testbed for AAReST Telescope
-Two laser light sources and a precise flat mirror simulating a star at infinity
-Optomechanics for precise alignment

Characterization of AAReST Deformable Mirrors
-A laser light source and a parabolic mirror to simulate a star at infinity
-A Phasics interferometer to measure the wavefront error of the deformable mirror (accuracy : 20 nm rms)
-Electro-optical characterization of CMOS/CCD sensors (measure of bias, dark, flat, noise and gain).

Thermal Vacuum Chamber
-One thermal vacuum chamber (vacuum up to 10-5 torr,temperature range
-25°C/+60°C) with an optical quality glass window and several ports to test our equipment, electronics and measure temperature
-One optical testbed to measure the wavefront error of mirrors and deformable mirrors being tested in the thermal vacuum chamber
