NGST Optical Testing
Abstract
An Integrated Product Team (IPT) was formed to develop a detailed optical test methodology for testing of the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) mirrors and the optical system on the ground. Optical testing is a significant cost driver therefore the testing has to be planned in detailed fashion early. This paper will discuss the preliminary metrology test plan at the mirror component and telescope system level. Instrumentation, facilities and schedule will also be addressed.
