Abstract
This paper talks about the weight optimization scheme of the primary mirror of a space telescope. Comparative study of three lightweight structural schemes (hexagonal, triangular and square) for the primary mirror is done. For the study, finite element modelling method is used using as tool. While comparing the weight reduction, the comparison between the three schemes is carried out based on static deflection, surface figure of the mirror and fundamental modal frequency.
