Tender summary

The National Research Council Canada has a requirement for the supply of a large clamshell observatory dome that opens entirely to allow for full sky tracking. The dome must have a freestanding base, with a total weight less than 1,000 lbs. The side door should be at least 28” x 68” in size. The clear usable height inside should be at least 3.5 m and the diameter should be at least 3.6 m but at most 4 m to fit on our existing platform.
