Paper Abstract
The International X-Ray Observatory (IXO) is a NASA, ESA, and JAXA joint mission. It requires a
mirror assembly with unprecedented characteristics that cannot be provided by existing optical
technologies. In the past several years, the project office at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has
supported a vigorous mirror technology development program. This program includes the fabrication of
lightweight mirror segments by slumping commercially available thin glass sheets, the support and
mounting of these thin mirror segments for accurate metrology, the mounting and attachment of these
mirror segments for the purpose of X-ray tests, and development of methods for aligning and integrating
these mirror segments into mirror assemblies. This paper describes our efforts and developments in these
areas.
