Scientific paper

We survey recent efforts to apply prospects of future in-space operational capabilities to the deployment, construction, and servicing of large astronomical optical systems in space. These studies are mapped onto recently released ESAS implementation plans, and considered in the light of more far-reaching future goals of the Exploration initiative. We consider the leveraging potential of Exploration tools to space astronomy. Following year-long studies by the science and engineering community, several NASA Vision Missions which addressed in-space efforts are considered in this regard. The potential of the lunar surface for astronomical installations, once considered highly enabling, is reevaluated briefly compared to opportunities in free-space
