This dataverse contains the configuration controlled documentation for the SOFIA Telescope Assembly subsystem 3000 Suspension Assembly (SUA): The SUA comprises the mechanical subsystems of the Telescope. It links the optical hardware of the Telescope and the bulkhead of the airplane.

The SOFIA TA Technology and Operations Archive Manual contains a guide how to use the archive as well as an overview of the SOFIA TA Hardware Breakdown Structure (HBS).

The SUA component is organized according to the HBS and contains subsystems as listed in the following tree structure:
