The SOFIA telescope is a joint NASA-DLR project for a 2.5 m airborne Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy to be flown in a specially adapted Boeing 747 SP plane, Kayser-Threde being responsible for the development of the Telescope Optics. The 352 mm Secondary Mirror is mounted on a chopping mechanism to allow avoidance of background noise during infrared observations. Stiffness associated to lightness is a major demand for such a mirror to achieve high frequency chopping. This leads to select Silicon Carbide for the mirror blank. Its development has been run by the ASTRIUM I BOOSTEC joint venture SiCSPACE, taking full benefit of the intrinsic properties of the BOOSTEC SiC- 100 sintered material, associated to qualified processes...
