The project focuses on creating ultralight, self-correcting mirrors for large optical telescopes and solar energy concentrators. These mirrors will utilize advanced materials and manufacturing techniques to achieve high optical quality while significantly reducing weight and cost.
We propose to develop ultralight, self-correcting mirrors for use in the next generation of large optical telescopes and solar energy concentrators.
Presently, the best mirrors have a density of about one-half a metric-ton per square-meter or more in order to provide the stiffness which is necessary to keep the optical shape under the variable conditions given by the changing gravity vector as the telescopes track a position on the sky, as well as to withstand variable wind conditions.
