DOD's largest telescope receives mirror recoat, preserves space domain awareness

The Boeing team poses with the Advanced Electro-Optical System, or AEOS, primary mirror following a recoat at the Air Force Maui Optical and Supercomputing (AMOS) site, Maui, Hawaii. This was the second recoat of the mirror since AEOS’s initial installation in 1997. AMOS is part of the Air Force Research Laboratory, and the 3.6-meter AEOS telescope supports the U.S. Space Force’s space domain awareness mission. (Courtesy photo / Boeing)
