Kyllä, näyttää hienolta ja voivaan arvella kuinka monta työtuntia noin tarkan 600mm peili vaatii.  Jos samat tunnit käyttäisi 300mm, se kelpaisi varmaan Nasan käyttöön. Outoa että Romaniassa pystytään tuollaiseen, eikö se ole aika köyhä maa?

Kysyin Romanian optisesta osaamisesta geminiltä (tarkemmin pdf-tiedostossa)

Romania's optical and telescope mirror expertise spans astronomical optics, space-grade
optomechanics, and high-power laser optics.

1. Strong Legacy in Physics & Micro-Engineering: Continuous academic output in optics,
plasma, and atomic physics dating back to the late 20th century.
2. International Partnerships: Collaborative initiatives with international institutes (such as
Japan's Osaka University and Okamoto Optics) for advanced mirror fabrication.
3. Targeted State & EU Funding: Major investments like the Măgurele optics infrastructure

While large primary astronomical mirrors (>1\text{ meter}) are usually imported from specialized
global foundries (e.g., SCHOTT ZERODUR or Corning Pyrex), Romania maintains local
fabrication skills:
● Custom Mirror Fabrication: History of producing small-to-medium precision spherical
and parabolic glass mirrors (up to 50\text{ cm}) for observatories and research institutes
across Europe.
● Metrology & Testing: Advanced optical testing setups, including Foucault knife-edge
testing, Ronchi testing, and white-light/laser interferometry for figuring mirror surfaces to
fractions of a light wavelength.
● Observatories & Academic Networks: Research programs at Babeș-Bolyai University
(Cluj-Napoca), Bucharest Astronomical Observatory, and West University of
Timișoara focus on telescope maintenance, optical alignment, and observational
equipment optimization.

Astroreflect taisi kyllä olla bulgarialainen firma.

... okei. Sitten sama Bulgariasta (pdf)

Joo, viestissä 390 se sanotaankin, olisi pitänyt tarkistaa..
