ED09-0279-15 This close up of SOFIA's German-built telescope assembly offers a view of both the primary and secondary mirrors, the latter a small black circle in the center supported by three braces. The white lower flexible door is seen on the bottom of the photo, while the aperture is the dark semi-circle on the right. The orange instrumentation wiring will remain on the aircraft through flights analyzing performance of the aircraft with the upper rigid door open and closed.
