Scientific paper

Attention is given to the performance claims and other relative advantages of three main classes of telescope configurations that have been proposed to increase light collecting area: (1) a single giant telescope of about 16 meter aperture, employing either a single segmented mirror or multiple mirrors, (2) a limited number of large telescopes of approximately 8 m aperture having thin, servocontrolled mirrors, and (3) a large array of 16 telescopes of 4 m aperture. The choice of the most advantageous system is made on the basis of high angular resolution interferometry's requirements, whose criteria include angular resolution, Fourier plane coverage, limiting magnitude, accuracy, and imaging capability.
