Abstract

The Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager 4 (FOXSI-4) is a heliophysics sounding rocket experiment that is currently in its fourth launch campaign. The payload is comprised of seven x-ray telescopes, which each consist of a 2 m focal length grazing incidence mirror module that focuses x-rays onto an imaging detector. For this fourth flight, Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) designed, built, and tested three new high-angular-resolution mirror module assemblies (MMAs). This paper describes the design and assembly of the FOXSI-4 MMAs.
