Mirrors must be electroformed on a nickel substrate with a semi-major axis of 6.000 inches, a semi-minor axis of 5.916 inches, an ellipse eccentricity of 0.1667, and a 2-inch focal separation. Each mirror requires 0.040-0.050 inch thickness, a flange with four thru holes, and a 1.5-inch diameter thru hole aligned 15 from one focal point. The concave surface requires a finish of 10nm or better and a scratch-dig surface quality of 80-50 or better. The reflective coating must achieve average reflection greater than 85% from 400-700 nm, greater than 70% from 700-2,000 nm, and greater than 97% from 2-12 m, verifiable on a witness coupon. Coating composition is flexible provided the specifications are met. The electroforming mandrel used in production must be delivered with the mirrors. Estimated period of performance is 3-4 months after order receipt. Export compliance with ITAR and EAR is required.
