Abstract

We have been working on 3 separate projects that together will give us the ability to make 1 arc second, light weightWolter I optics that work above 40 keV. The three separate tasks are: (a) plasma spraying of metal-coated micro-balloons; (b) coating of the inside of Wolter I mirrors, (c) actuator designs for improving figure quality.We give a progress report on our work on all three areas.

We thank Yong Chu, Jenia Karapetrova, and Paul Zschack for APS support on the UNI-CAT Beam line plus Steve Wang and Alex Vaynman for help with the data taking. We thank Robert Stern and Lawrence Shing for help with the LMSAL experiment. The original work was supported in part by internal research grants at both the Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory and Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp., plus the Illinois Space Grant (97–319/04/NGT 5-40030; which also sponsored the latest APS work) and NASA STTR grant (NAS5-03069).
