Dear colleagues We need to recoat the MLRO primary mirror (which is a 1.52 meters diameter, F/1.5 parabolic mirror) and we´re exploring which possibilities exist in Europe to have the job done. Do you know of companies or observatories which could coat a 1.5 meter mirror with aluminum and at least one protective coat (e.g. SiO2)? Thanks in advance and best regards Pippo ___________________ Dr. Giuseppe Bianco Acting Director, Earth Observation Department Responsabile p.t., Unit=E0 Osservazione della Terra Agenzia Spaziale Italiana phone: +39-0835-377209 +39-06-8567419 mobile: +39-320-8579369 e.mail: giuseppe.bianco@asi.it From: slrmail@dgfi3.dgfi.badw-muenchen.de ********************************************************************************
