Increasing Structural Performance of Space Telescope Mirrors through Simultaneous Shape and Size Optimization

In this paper, a numeric optimization approach for designing space telescope mirrors will be presented. It is fundamental to space telescopes that each element—including their mirrors—are as lightweight as possible. Moreover, the performance of space telescopes is driven by how strongly these mirror...
