Fundamental study on optical performance of low-melting-point metal mirrors for space telescopes

The installation of telescopes with larger primary mirrors in outer space is required for the study of the early universe. However, the shipping, assembling and maintenance of the primary mirror are technical challenges. The primary mirror made of low-melting-point metal (LMPM) enables to simplify t...
