Abstract

When the SVOM mission is fully operational, data from the GRB and GW locations on the sky must be sent to ground stations to study their optical counterparts. Among these telescopes is COLIBRÍ, a Franco-Mexican robotic telescope. Its diameter is 1.3m and its focal length is f/7.2. It is mainly designed to observe the counterpart in the visible and near infrared. In this paper we describe the control system of DDRAGO, the imager component of COLIBRÍ.
