Dynamic Test Model Built

The Dynamic Test Model is fully built up! This build brings together every major structural element of the telescope: the optical bench, the metering struts, the mirror surrogates, and a working fast steering mirror stage. Each interface was checked against the flight design during integration, with no surprises.

Dynamic Test Model fully assembled, ready for shipping to vibration test

What’s Next

Next stop: the shaker table. In a few weeks we will load up the truck and head to vibration testing to validate the structure against launch loads.
