Scientific paper

It is noted that the direct imaging field proposed for Starlab is approximately 100 times larger that that of the Space Telescope and that it would provide an important wide-field survey complement. The research that Starlab will further in astrophysics and cosmology will not be possible with the Space Telescope. It will give diffraction-limited images over a 0.5 deg field for wavelengths exceeding 2500 A. For the wavelength range from 1150 A to 12000 A, photon-counting, signal-generating detectors would be used. The advantages of placing observatories in space are enumerated, and the imaging experiments that will be possible on Starlab are detailed. A table is included comparing the specifications of Starlab with those of the Space Telescope.
