CNT MIRRORS FOR
NASA TELESCOPE
A lightweight telescope that a
team of NASA scientists and engineers
is developing specifically for CubeSat
scientific investigations could become
the first to carry a mirror made of car-
bon nanotubes in an epoxy resin. Led by
Theodor Kostiuk, a scientist at NASA’s
Goddard Space Flight Center in Green-
belt, Md., the technology development
is aimed at giving the scientific commu-
nity a compact, reproducible, and rela-
tively inexpensive telescope that would
fit easily inside a CubeSat. Individual
CubeSats measure just 4 in. per side.
With funding from Goddard’s
internal R&D program, the team cre-
ated a laboratory optical bench made
up of three miniaturized spectrome-
ters optimized for the ultraviolet, vis-
ible, and near-infrared wavelengths.
Spectrometers are connected via fiber
optic cables to the focused beam of a
3-in.-diameter carbon-nanotube mir-
ror. The team is using the new bench
to test the telescope’s overall design.
