Mechanical Fabrication
Fabrication activities this week included the casting of the first beam waveguide mirror. This aluminum casting was
done at a foundry near Vitoria, Spain. Five more mirrors, and the antenna subreflector still need to be cast over the
next couple of months. Once the castings are done, they must then be precision machined to the exact tolerances
required.
