In October 2023, TMT International Observatory contracted AMOS to develop the Secondary Mirror Support System and Positioner (M2SSP). The M2SSP was identified by TIO as a critical sub-system for which early design would substantially reduce technical, schedule and cost risks to the overall TMT project development plan. In this paper, we present the preliminary design of the M2SSP elaborated by AMOS to comply with the demanding performance requirements imposed by the operational cases and the environment of TMT. The M2SSP is composed of a semi-active mirror support assembly (M2CA) and a positioner (M2POS) that consists of a hexapod with tracking capabilities.
