Toward a complete metrologic solution for the mirrors for the Constellation-X Spectroscopy x-ray telescope

2007 
We present an overview update of the metrologic approach to be employed for the segmented mirror fabrication for Constellation-X spectroscopy x-ray telescope. We compare results achieved to date with mission requirements. This is discussed in terms of inherent capability versus in-practice capability. We find that all the needed metrics for the mirrors are in hand but that they are currently limited by the mounting of the mirrors themselves.
