This view shows the intricate truss system. Two parallel
truss beams make up each of the triangle's shape. |
|
|
The six mirror to cell attachment points were designed
with truss members directly under them. This offers the highest
stiffness. |

The cell was designed for use with a specific low
vibration, low noise fan. The open truss and oval cutouts on
the mirror-side flange allow the greatest amount of air flow
possible. |
|
|
The large, round back flange prevents air from passing
at the outer edges. This helps force air past the edge and the
entire back surface of the mirror instead of just at the mirror's
edge. |

members. |

|
You can also see (with some difficulty...) the narrow
cross members that tie each double set of parallel truss beams
together. This is where the six points for the mirror attachment
are located. These narrow cross members lie below the closed
space between each set of three oval cutouts. |

The fan adds an additional ~0.12 lbs to the mirror
cell, for a total on the mirror cell (without collimation hardware)
of 0.348 lbs. |
