  1. Light Weight Composite Mirrorsfor Science Instruments Small Business Innovation Research Composite Optics Inc. San Diego, CA INNOVATION Light weight, large aperture reflectors of graphite reinforced composites that mee instrument requirements for surface accuracy Areflector was built that can be used for limited detection of wavelengths as short as 100 microns  The 1.6x.86 meter, offset parabolic reflector exhibited a surface accuracy of 4.6 micron, near zero coefficient of thermal expansion, and arealdensity of 7.8 kg/m2 COMMERCIALIZATION  Mirrors for balloon born telescopes and instruments on airplanes  Reflectors/mirrors for tactical military systems ACCOMPLISHMENT NASA Supplied Mirror for European Space Agency FIRST Mission GOVERNMENT/ SCIENCE APPLICATIONS Under contract to produce reflector for Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) for NASA AURA (EOS CHEM-1) Mission  Received $7 million contract to begin development of mirror for European Space Agency FIRST Mission in which NASA participates 1993 Phase II; NAS7-1366 NASA/JPL Contact - Eri Cohen Company Contact - Eldon Kasl Jet Propulsion Laboratory Success Story #7-004
