Scientific paper

The application of carbon fiber reinforced plastic to the design and manufacturing of lightweight mirrors for the 2 m primary mirror of the telescope PRONAOS is illustrated. The telescope is to be used for the performance of balloon-borne infrared astronomy. Seven 60 deg segments for the primary mirror of the telescope, with a total accuracy of less than 3 micrometers rms were designed and manufactured. The final alignment of the mirror is also described.
