A continually supported assembly capable of being space launched includes a base and a thin optical substrate having a light collecting first surface and an opposite rear surface. An elastically coupling medium couples the rear surface of optical substrate and said base to one another. At least one force-coupled actuator is interspersed within said elastic coupling medium for controllably altering the shape of said optical substrate.
