A space optical system is disclosed. The space optical system can include a primary support structure in support of a primary mirror. The space optical system can also include a sensor mounting structure coupled to the primary support structure and extending to an exterior of space optical system. The space optical system can further include first and second sensors mounted on the sensor mounting structure. In one aspect, the sensor mounting structure can comprise a thermally and mechanically stable, non-zero CTE material.
