Scientific paper

The characteristics of existing large ground radio telescopes are examined together with limitations of a ground telescope. A concept of a large spaceborne radio telescope is presented with special attention given to the choice of the orbit and the aspects of mass, shape, and size, deployment, rigidification, and resistance to deformation and degradation. It is concluded that, for a price much lower than that of a large ground radio telescope, it is possible to build and launch a large space telescope that will be excellent for metric and decametric waves.
