Abstract

jpl's Precision Segmented Reflector (PSR) program is developing enabling technologies for large space telescopes employing segmented optics, and in particular, lightweight, thermally-stable mirrors. NASA astrophysics missions¹ operating at sub-millimeter wavelengths serve as the primary focus for this technology development program which began in 1987.
