Fresnel lens technology gives the ability to make very large, 10s to 100s meter apertures and enables a whole new regime of science and exploration missions allowing a new look at currently planned missions. Examples of missions that would be enabled or modified by these extremely large aperture sizes will be discussed at a conceptual level. This paper will conclude with a roadmap of technical challenges to be solved that will enable this exciting technology to develop and move into the technological main stream.
