About the paperAbstract
The technology of improving reflecting surfaces of main and secondary mirrors of the radio telescope RT-70 () for using it in the millimeter wavelength range is given. The work is carried out at the portal-type robot system in the following sequence: measuring surfaces in 3-D coordinates in real time mode with transmitting the data to acting mechanisms (blocs cold spraying and mechanical processing); monitoring the process of cold gas-dynamic spraying; processing of the surface with the accuracy better than 50 mkm (RMS). It is proposed to decrease heating/cooling of the reflecting surfaces of the system "main mirror-secondary mirror-horn", equalizing the temperature gradient by blowing in the automatic mode cold/warm air streams, manufacturing facets of materials based on ceramics with a low coefficient of linear thermal expansion. The surface elements should be analyzed by the of finite-element method and of new generation materials should be examined.

mirrors of the radio telescope RT-70 () for using it in the
millimeter wavelength range is given. The work is carried out at the
portal-type robot system in the following sequence: measuring
surfaces in 3-D coordinates in real time mode with transmitting the
data to acting mechanisms (blocs cold spraying and mechanical
processing); monitoring the process of cold gas-dynamic spraying;
processing of the surface with the accuracy better than 50 mkm (RMS).
It is proposed to decrease heating/cooling of the reflecting surfaces
of the system "main mirror-secondary mirror-horn", equalizing the
temperature gradient by blowing in the automatic mode cold/warm air
streams, manufacturing facets of materials based on ceramics with a
low coefficient of linear thermal expansion. The surface elements
