The etalon is shown to remain stable to less than 5-m/sec equivalent wind over one orbit and less than 100 m/sec over several months in orbit. The thermal stability considerations for the highly stable etalon are discussed, including the passive thermal control used in flight. The various physical processes which give rise to drifts in the peak transmission wavelength are quantified, and the kinematic mount used to isolate the etalon from large incremental forces caused by changes in the thermal environment is presented. The performance of the etalon in its flight configuration is evaluated.
