Shown is the Payload Module Structural Model, which will evolve into the Payload Module Proto-Flight Model. The Folding-Optics Structure (FOS) has been integrated, as well as all three bipods that support the Payload Module. The M1 and M3 mirror mounts have been glued to the torus for both telescopes. One of the Basic-Angle-Monitoring (BAM) Opto-Mechanical-Assembly (OMA) baseplates has been mounted too.
