Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Tech Transfer
Advanced Mirror Material System, Phase I
Project Introduction
Peregrine will bring together recent laboratory developments and mature the technology so that complete mirror and telescope assemblies can be reliably and robustly produced. This proposed innovation will lower the cost of space mirrors from their current state of the art of $6.4 m/m2 to less than $1.6 m/m2 while maintaining low weight, high stiffness and high performance for x-ray, neutron and UV/optical mirrors.
