Hadaway,Holger Glatzel,Patrick Johnson,Allen Lee,Dan Patriarca,Ian Stevenson,Jason Cluney,Tom Parsonage,Jeff Calvert,Brady Rodgers,Andrew McKay,Scott Texter,Lester M. Cohen,Lee Feinberg +22 more
TL;DR: The 18 flight primary mirrors segments, the secondary mirror, and the tertiary mirror are all advanced in the mirror production process with many segments through the final polishing process, coating process, final assembly, vibration testing, and final acceptance testing.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Successful production of the engineering development unit (EDU) primary mirror segment and flight unit tertiary mirror for JWST
Andrea Arneson,Chris Alongi,Rob Bernier,Ed Boese,Jay Daniel,Lee R. Dettmann,Robert Garfield,Holger Glatzel,John Kincade,Patrick Johnson,Allen Lee,Adam Magruder,Ankit Patel,Martin Seilonen,Gary Surges,Mark Bergeland,Robert J. Brown,Benjamin B. Gallagher,Andrew McKay,Lester M. Cohen +19 more
TL;DR: Final optical wavefront measurements over the various spatial frequency ranges have demonstrated that all of the requirements are met, which has validated the processes of fabrication and metrology and allows Tinsley to proceed with the production of the 18 flight mirror segments.
