We have fabricated a precision full -cylinder stainless-steel mandrel at Marshall Space Flight Center. The mandrel is figured for a 30-cm-diameter primary (paraboloid) mirror of an 840-cm focal-lengthWolter-1 telescope. We have developed this mandrel for experiments in slumping.thermal forming at about 600 C-of glass mirror segments at Goddard Space Flight Center, in support of NASA fs participation in the International X -ray Observatory (IXO). Precision turning of stainless ]steel mandrels may offer a lowcost alternative to conventional figuring of fused -silica or other glassy forming mandrels. We report on the fabrication, metrology, and performance of this first mandrel; then we discuss plans and goals for stainless-steel mandrel technology.
