Team members (Steve Bongiorno, Wayne Baumgartner, Nick Thomas, Jessica Gaskin, Panini Singam, and Danielle Gurgew) from the X-ray Astronomy Group (ST12) presented 6 talks and 1 poster detailing the current status of our X-ray optics modeling, fabrication, coatings, alignment and mounting, and MSFC 100-m (aka SLTF) test capabilities. Recent results from the Focusing Optics X-ray Solar Imager (FOXSI) effort led by Baumgartner were presented, as was a status on X-Ray and Cryogenic Facility (XRCF) preparation (Jeff Kegley/ST15) and testing (Baumgartner) for ESA’s Athena mission.
