Entegris SUPERSiC® silicon carbide stands out as the optimal material for satellite mirrors in telescopes due to its exceptional ability to remain unchanged under extreme space conditions. This ensures superior signal stability and reliability. Both cost-effective and lightweight, SUPERSiC® substrates and mirrors have been cryogenically tested at 20 Kelvin, demonstrating exceptional performance with minimal changes to wave-front error. When paired with their intricate SiC structures, they create an outstanding athermal system.
