Scientific paper

The scientific requirements and the implications for the instruments and telescope design for the Next Generation Space Telescope are described. One candidate concept is a deployable 8 meter diameter telescope optimized for the near infrared region (1-5 μm), but with instruments capable of observing from the visible all the way to 30 μm. The observatory is radiatively cooled to about 30 K and could be launched on an Atlas II-AS to the Lagrange Point L2.
