Scientific paper

The heart of the Chandra X-ray observatory is the High Resolution Mirror Assembly (HRMA). This major subassembly consists of the 8 Wolter Type-I x-ray mirrors in a metrology stable mount system. This system was referenced to the instruments using a Aspect Determination System that used a precision periscope assembly to transfer the sky location to the instruments. In addition, this whole assembly is thermally controlled with less than 100 watts of power with the use of precision thermal pre- and post collimators. This poster will detail the major components of the HRMA and how they all work to create a better than 1 arcsec optical assembly.
