Beam Projectors 15 meters or more in diameter and of excellent quality will be needed to successfully transmit laser beams from the earth to satellites in space. They can be made up of adaptive optic mirror segments one or two meters in diameter connected to make a phase-continuous mirror surface. In a companion paper (titled I. Design and Materials) the concept and applications of mirror faceplates were discussed. In this paper the construction and performance of a prototype graphite impregnated composite cyanate ester adaptive optic mirror is evaluated.
