The authors discuss a 50-meter Michelson stellar interferometer that could be mounted on a space platform. For this device, the estimated magnitude limit would be near +15 mag and, in the ultraviolet (2000 Angstroms), upper limits on angular diameters may be determined down to about 0.2 milliarcsecond. The authors regard the development of such a relatively simple, low-cost device as an important demonstration of the technical and scientific potential of long baseline optical interferometers in space.
