@NASAWebbTelescp@astraughnomer Great stuff thanks, glad I asked as from the website 625kg - 18 = 34.7kg each -but I'll go with yr answer!
@Keaton_S @astraughnomer It's definitely 44lbs or ~20kg. The mirrors have other hardware on them (actuators) adding to weight of total.

@NASAWebbTelescp@astraughnomer So as it would be going into space -with everything on a mirror segment it would be around 34.7kg each then? -
@Keaton_S@NASAWebbTelescp the actual mass of the actual gold-coated beryllium mirror segments is ~20kg. I'd use that.
