Abstract
Spaced-based mirrors that operate in cryogenic temperatures have a decreased gravity sag value than their phase maps at 293k. To characterize how the gravity sags changes at cryogenic temperatures a 1.2m aluminum mirror made of 5083 had a horizontal rotation test done for N=3 rotations (0°, 120°, 240°) for multiple temperatures ranging from 293k to 35K.
