M1M3 Optical Testing

Optical testing of the M1M3 system began at the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab on January 14. This first campaign of testing will continue until January 25. Measurements have just begun to verify the active optic support forces for the mirror surfaces, but seeing stable fringes for both M1 and M3 surfaces made for a very satisfying day.
