Abstract :
CSIRO´s Australian Centre for Precision Optics has recently produced retroreflectors for NASA´s Space Interferometry Mission. The specifications for optical quality and alignment of the assembled parts were extremely demanding. We describe how this very complex problem was successfully solved.
