How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T15839640 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

-
A.
Grille spectrometer
The Grille spectrometer is a spaceborne infrared spectrometer designed to study the composition and structure of planetary and Earth atmospheres by analyzing their emitted and absorbed radiation.
-
B.
Dall–Kirkham telescope design
The Dall–Kirkham telescope design is a type of reflecting telescope that uses an elliptical primary mirror and a spherical secondary mirror to provide good on-axis image quality with relatively simple, easy-to-manufacture optics.
-
C.
Kast double spectrograph
The Kast double spectrograph is an astronomical instrument used at Lick Observatory to obtain detailed spectra of celestial objects across two wavelength ranges simultaneously.
-
D.
Maksutov–Cassegrain telescope design
The Maksutov–Cassegrain telescope design is a compact catadioptric optical system that uses a spherical primary mirror and a meniscus corrector lens to provide long focal lengths with well-corrected, high-contrast images in a relatively short tube.
-
E.
Baker–Nunn camera
The Baker–Nunn camera is a specialized wide-field tracking telescope system developed in the mid-20th century for highly accurate photographic observation of artificial Earth satellites.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
