Near the base of tropical jungle-forest mountains, this massive half ton fully amped rocketing telescope resides up on the open faced Skyway, at the new Singularity Observatory on the South Pacific Ocean Island and is protected by the Rocketing Telescope Heat Shield.
It may be one of the rare telescopes requiring a space age Heat Shield relative to strong exposure atmospheric conditions. In the illustration, the DTS, Diurnal Telescope shield protects against fierce weather, heavy ocean salt concentrations, dew and tremendous humidity and condensation, the onslaught of torrential rain, long lasting Monsoons, and winds from typhoons and tropical storms. The shield is also capable of shielding the sun rays using UV inhibitors, at the location where the UV index often reaches 8, and prevents the intense build of heat. The shield is so heavy, it requires special procedures for install, reinstall. Thickness and rip-stop design add durability and the heavy nature provides insulation. Thus far, the shield has survived all real world tests for months August and September 2018.
