Scientific paper

The Orbiting Stellar Interferometer (OSI) is a proposed space-based observatory that will open exciting new vistas in astronomy and address fundamental scientific questions by making extremely accurate (3 to 30 microarcsecond) astrometric measurements of the positions of stars, quasars, and other astronomical objects as faint as magnitude 20. In addition, it will be able to image objects with a resolution of about 13 milliarcseconds. Using the lessons learned from the development of a point design for OSI, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory has developed a new conceptual design, with emphasis on reducing its cost and complexity while maximizing the return of valuable science.
