Highly Engineered Materials Program

Abstract

Industry partners and the MSFC have entered into a joint program for characterization studies of various materials which may be viable candidates for future optical systems. We will present the current status of this program. The two phase testing scenario will be discussed including the various tests to be done in each of the test phases. Phase one of the test program has all partners involved while phase two may involve a down-selection of partners based on phase one results.
