Scientific paper

Future space and stratospheric submillimeter astronomical facilities require very light-weight mirror panels with a surface accuracy of approximately 1 micron rms (for 30 micron diffraction limited imaging) at an operating temperature of ≡200K. The author has undertaken a test and development program with Dornier System of West Germany to evaluate and improve the state-of-the-art of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic Sandwich Panel Mirrors. Seven half meter sized Dornier mirrors have been evaluated for thermal figure stability.
