NASA has revealed a full-scale prototype of the telescope that will be used in the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) ...
Germany company Schott manufactures the material that the prototype is made of – an amber-colored glass-ceramic called Zerodur. The material is popular for telescope mirrors and other ...
The conventional production of Zerodur is characterized by the following main production steps. Generally, after the glass has been melted continuously or discontinuously in a melting tank, the hot ...
The prototype is constructed entirely from an amber-hued glass-ceramic composite known as Zerodur and sourced from Germany. Meanwhile, the equipment telescope’s primary mirror is still coated in ...
Zerodur as a homogeneous, non-porous glass ceramic exhibits excellent dimensional stability not only during long-term isothermal applications but also when it is subjected to temperature changes ...
NASA, on Wednesday, unveiled the first look of its brand new space telescopes. Taking to social media, the agency shared pictures of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) that is designed to ...
Engineers used an amber-colored type of ceramic glass called Zerodur that was manufactured in Mainz, Germany, and changes very little when subjected to changes in temperature. Zerodur commonly is ...
The prototype, featuring a gold-coated mirror and crafted from Zerodur, ensures high precision and thermal stability. The Engineering Development Unit Telescope is crafted entirely from a ...
