The challenging development of lightweight glass mirrors for future X-ray telescopes
- Previously used mirror technologies are not able to fulfill the challenging requirements of future X-ray telescopes. A promising new technology under development is the hot slumping of thin glasses. Challenges, design trades and first results are presented, including the thermal shaping process, the development of low stress coatings and the mirror segments integration concept.
