Research abstract
Advancement of space surveillance and seeker system performance for cryogenic applications will be accomplished through increased use of silicon carbide mirrors. One unknown is the attachment method needed for SiC mirrors and optical benches with differing thermal properties. This Phase I effort seeks to evaluate innovative attachment concepts for SiC mirrors to optical structures with differing thermal properties. The increased understanding of the mounting methods for silicon carbide will allow the use of full – scale silicon carbide optical components that meet requirements of the ARTEMIS program for responsive-space and other future programs.
