Abstract

The technological mounting is necessary during the ground base tests to exclude the gravity influence into the lightweight large-size space astronomical mirrors (diameter of 1.7 m and more). We propose a method that allows to correct the influence of this mounting onto the mirror shape surface during an interferometric control. Here we present results based on primary mirror tests of the WSO-UV project.
