The NGST Mirror System Demonstrator (NMSD) from Composite Optics Incorporated (COI) was developed in support of the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) program. The goal was to produce a 1.6 m class, ultra light-weight (<15 kg/sq m), glass-on-composite mirror that could be operated at 35 K. The mirror has been cryogenically tested at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) a total of two times. This paper will describe the test goals, the test instrumentation, and the test results (low & high order figure and radius of curvature) for both cryogenic tests.
