Abstract

The Mid-Infrared E-ELT Imager and Spectrometer (METIS) for the Extremely Large Telescope in Chile, is expecting to begin the system-level Assembly, Integration, and Testing (AIT) at Leiden University in 2025. One of the key success factors for the AIT is the preparation of specialized Support Equipments (SEQs). This paper presents the SEQ units developed by ASIAA, including the AIT support frame (ASF), ASF transportation container, clean area system, and AIT lifting platform. The key requirements, functionality, and considerations for SEQ design are provided.
