One of the primary tasks for the successful reboot of the ROT-54/2.6 radio-optical tele-scope is the alignment and adjustment of the antenna. The initial step in addressing this involves assessing the current state of the telescope's physical, mechanical, and radio engi-neering parameters. Once these parameters are accurately measured, they must be com-pared to the data from the ROT-54/2.6 specifications documented over 30 years ago when the telescope antenna was first constructed, to determine the scope of work required for alignment and adjustment. A clear action plan has been established to conduct this work. Currently, practical assessments of the antenna’s condition cannot proceed, as the tele-scope has been transferred to the National Institute of Metrology under the Ministry of Economy of Republic of Armenia, with which certain disagreements remain unresolved. Before implementing the developed action plan, a comprehensive software package was created, enabling a range of measurements to be conducted in a virtual environment with simulated results. This software package includes an accurate three-dimensional model of the radio-optical telescope antenna, along with simulation programs incorporating compo-nents that generate random results within a specific range of measurement errors. Through the practical application of this measurement method, the software package will expedite the process of assessing the antenna’s condition, allowing for a more precise evaluation of the required alignment and adjustment work.
