“…With current lightweight composites, areal masses as small as ~5-10kg/m 2 are possible over smaller diameters [1][2][3][4] . However, the construction of a single, large primary for high-resolution imaging will require several smaller diameter mirror segments to be perfectly positioned and phased together in orbit.…”
