Lightweight and high angular resolution x-ray optics for astronomical missions
W. W. Zhang,Michael P. Biskach,Peter Blake,Kai-Wing Chan,Tyler Evans,Melinda Hong,William D. Jones,Linette D. Kolos,J. M. Mazzarella,R. S. McClelland,Steve O'Dell,Timo T. Saha,Marton V. Sharpe +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on a program to develop x-ray op tics satisfying high angular resolution and light weight requirements for advancing X-ray astrophysics, which will enable Explorer-class and facility-class missions in the near term and long term.

Saha,Marton V. Sharpe,James Sturm,Thomas Wallace,Mikhail V. Gubarev,William D. Jones,Steve O'Dell,William N. Davis,Mark D. Freeman,William A. Podgorski,P. Reid +24 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the efforts and developments in these areas, including fabrication of lightweight mirror segments by slumping commercially available thin glass sheets, mounting and attachment of these mirror segments for the purpose of X-ray tests, and development of methods for aligning and integrating the mirror segments into mirror assemblies.
High Angular Resolution and Lightweight X-Ray Optics for Astronomical Missions
W. W. Zhang,Michael P. Biskach,Peter Blake,Kai-Wing Chan,Tyler Evans,Melinda Hong,William D. Jones,Linette D. Kolos,J. M. Mazzarella,R. S. McClelland,Steve O'Dell,Timo T. Saha,Marton V. Sharpe +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe an x-ray optics development program and reports on its status that meets these two requirements, namely, high angular resolution and lightweight, for further progress in X-ray astronomy.
