We’re a Lightweight Company with a Big Mission

Our Mission Statement

Composite Mirror Applications is transforming the way we explore our universe. Cost and low production rates of telescopes have been a barrier to entry for many and has limited the amount of scientific data obtainable. CMA is reducing those barriers, opening space exploration to a wider audience; an army of astronomers to accelerate our knowledge of the universe.

History

Composite Mirror Applications began operations August 1991, Tucson, AZ “Optics Valley” with the goal of offering a revolutionary mirror fabrication technology, via replication.

Over 30 years, CMA developed core technologies and established IP to transform the way high-quality large optical mirrors are produced. Tucson AZ is the optics capital of the world and we have operated in that sphere with the most cutting-edge leaders in the industry.

Many government agencies have engaged CMA in the design/fabrication for a host of composite mirrors, structures and systems for ground-based and space-based systems, including nuclear physics experiments at CERN and other laboratories worldwide, transforming the way they gather scientific data.

CMA has achieved the Highest Technical Readiness Level (TRL 9) with the AMS-02 RICH Mirror onboard the International Space Station, in operation since 2011.
