Hot slumping glass technology and integration process to manufacture a grazing incidence scaled prototype for the IXO telescope modules

As for all space missions, the limit imposed on the payload mass budget by the launcher is the main driver that forces the use of very lightweight optics. Considering the International X-ray…
