A suspension-mounting scheme is developed for the IXO (International X-ray Observatory) mirror segments in which
the figure of the mirror segment is preserved in each stage of mounting. The mirror, first fixed on a thermally compatible
strongback, is subsequently transported, aligned and transferred onto its mirror housing. In this paper, we shall outline
the requirement, approaches, and recent progress of the suspension mount processes.
