XRISM Mirrors
Assembling XRISM's Mirrors: Team members Lawrence Lozipone of Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies, Inc. and Yang Soong, a researcher at the University of Maryland, College Park, work with flight mirrors for the X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM). Nested aluminum mirror segments, 1,624 of them for each X-ray Mirror Assembly, focus the incoming X-rays for the satellite's science instruments.
