Abstract
Why mirrored surfaces are used in spacecraft assembly and test, how they are measured, and why a laser tracker is the right instrument for it. Covers cube and mirror characteristics, how not to measure a mirror, and the two laser tracker methods – direct autocollimation and the 2-shot approach – with a case study.
