- Description
- MODIFICATION #2: EXTEND RESPONSE DUE DATE TO AUGUST 23, 2016 5:00 P.M. ET AND PROVIDE ANSWER TO QUESTION Q1. Q1: "I can make Aluminum mirror up to 2.2 meters in diameter. Is it possible to get a solid model of the part and talk to the designer?" A1: "I did not provide a solid CAD model of the mirror to allow the mirror designers to determine the internal details of the lightweight mirror to meet the overall "external" requirements that we have. I did provide the overall dimensions and specifications that the mirror must meet since this is where the mirror interfaces with and performs within our system. As to the use of an aluminum mirror substrate for this application, after consulting with my colleagues, we are not sure that this would meet our requirements. When using an aluminum substrate, there are several potential difficulties that may prevent the mirror from achieving the specifications provided. These include, but are not limited to, the ability of the mirror to maintain the specified flatness over a wide range of temperatures, the ability to achieve the specified surface smoothness and quality, and the inability to have the mirror re-coated without having to re-polish or re-figure the mirror surface. These potential problems are fairly well known to astronomical mirror manufacturers, and as a result, most large mirrors of this type are manufactured from glass substrates. I would invite the vendor to provide any information that could address the performance of their proposed aluminum substrate mirror relative to the high performance that can be achieved with glass substrate mirrors."
