Paper Abstract
The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) is a NASA Small Explorer (SMEX) mission which employs two
focusing optics. The optics are composed of stacks of thin mirror shells and spacers. Epoxy is used to bond the mirror
shells to the spacers and is a crucial component in determining the structural and optical performance of the telescopes.
We describe the epoxy selection for NuSTAR optics, emphasizing those epoxy characteristics essential to obtaining good
optical performance.
