Lightweight and High Angular Resolution X-Ray OpticsThe International X-ray Observatory (IXO) mission requires a lightweight and high throughput spectroscopic telescope. The fabrication, alignment, and integration of this mirror assembly require breakthroughs in many areas. In this paper we report on our recent progress in all these areas, including mirror fabrication, coating, metrology, alignment, mechanical characteristics, and their integration into mirror modules. In particular, we will also outline our plan for the next few of years, showing approaches that will progress toward reaching the 5' HPD requirement.
