Abstract
Russell Morrison of Geodetic Systems Inc. presents the use of digital photogrammetry to measure large radio telescope antennas at extreme altitude, including work at ALMA, the ACT and the LMT. The presentation covers GSI company and photogrammetry history, a technology overview and what makes photogrammetry uniquely suited to antenna measurement, the practical effects of high altitude on the measurement crew, and site-by-site accounts of the first ascent at ALMA and the subsequent campaigns. Presentation slides only; no written abstract is held in the CMS archive.
