This dataverse contains the configuration controlled documentation for the SOFIA Telescope Assembly subsystem 4300 Balancing Subassembly (BS): Due to the difference in Science Instruments the Telescope has to be balanced in three axis according to every new configuration. Comprises coarse-plates and fine balancing system.

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

0000 SOFIA Telescope Assembly/4000 Flange Assembly/4300 Balancing Subassembly
├── 4300.1 Fine Balancing Assembly
├── 4300.2 Balancing Main Plate
├── 4300.3 Balancing Struts
├── 4300.4 Balancing Panels and Racks
├── 4320 Balancing Coarse Plates
│   ├── 4320.1 Balancing Plates
│   ├── 4320.3 Balancing Threaded Rods
│   └── 4322 Balancing Plate Mount Redesign
├── 4330 TA-PMA Shear Box Counterweight Assembly
└── 4390 TA Fixation Device
