M1 Mirror Blank

Schott delivered the M1 blank for VISTA in Mainz in March 2003. We accepted the blank into a transportation container supplied by L-ZOS. The container and blank are now en route to Moscow for Figuring and Polishing.

Schott managed to deliver the blank well within the required specification and were both timely and to budget. Even Eli was impressed.
