The activity aims at the development and demonstration of a concept of the AAM for LISA Optical Bench. In particular, the activity shall target LISA Phase A study AAM requirements for the design of the prototype, followed by its manufacturing and verification. Main performance to be demonstrated include:- The stability of the clipping aperture both in the LISA measurement band and over longer timescales between the envisaged re-calibration points- The range, repeatability and accuracyof themechanism adjustment against requirements- The optical properties of the aperture.
