Steel Fabrication
The main reflector backup structure for DSS-55 has been fully assembled in the Schwartz-Hautmont fabrication facility in Tarragona, Spain. The alignment is now being checked on this trial assembly to ensure the shape of the reflector is correct. Once the alignment has been verified, the reflector will be disassembled and painted before being shipped to the construction site.
