M1M3 Move
On October 18, 2018, the M1M3 Mirror was moved to the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab on a Precision Heavy Haul truck. The Mirror had been in storage in hangar at Million Air since its fabrication, which was completed in 2015. Now that both the Cell and the Mirror are in the Lab, the next step is the installation of the Mirror onto the M1M3 Cell using the vacuum lifter. In this photo the Mirror, in its protective container, is suspended next to the Mirror Cell.
