Popis: Spaceborne sensor mirrors need to be both structurally efficient and to maintain figure through thermal transients. Both properties can be represented in a plot showing structural efficiency on one axis and thermal transient resilience on the other. For material selection, engineers have effectively used such charts. However in some cases thermal attributes have improved considerably. Using contemporary values, this comparison chart looks differently. We will discuss how lines of equal merit may be formulated differently depending on the orbit of the mission.
