The Space Telescope (ST), a 2.4 meter aperture astronomical telescope, will be launched into low earth orbit by the Space Shuttle in the mid-1980's. This high resolution telescope will be capable of operating from Lyman-alpha (121.6 nm) through the near infrared; support five different scientific instruments at its focal plane (two cameras, two spectrographs, and one photometer); and by periodic on-orbit servicing and ground refurbishment be able to operate with technologically current scientific instruments for at least 15 years. This paper identifies the critical Space Telescope design requirements and describes design techniques which were selected to satisfy these requirements.
