TL;DR: The Actuated Hybrid Mirrors (AHMs) as discussed by the authors use replication techniques for high optical quality as well as rapid, low-cost manufacturing and enable an Active Optics space telescope architecture that uses periodic image-based wavefront sensing and control to assure diffraction-limited performance, while relaxing optical system fabrication, integration and test requirements.

TL;DR: The wavefront sensing and control (WFS&C) algorithms and software for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are described in this article, where the authors describe algorithms for the coarse alignment of the primary mirror segments and the secondary mirror, the coarse and fine phasing of the entire telescope.

TL;DR: The Advanced Technology Large Aperture Space Telescope (ATLAST) team has identified five key technologies to enable candidate architectures for the future large-aperture ultraviolet/optical/infrared (LUVOIR) space observatory envisioned by the NASA Astrophysics 30-year roadmap, Enduring Quests, Daring Visions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a baseline architecture for NGST wavefront control, including initial capture and alignment, segment phasing, wavefront sensing and deformable mirror control.
