Scientific paper

A 10-m monolithic primary telescope mirror is under consideration as the basis of a successor to the Hubble Space Telescope that will employ a Nasmyth focus for the sake of mirror instability. This space telescope will be located in geosynchronous orbit in order to minimize operational environment constraints and increase observational efficiency. Carbon fiber reinforcement of the honeycombed monolithic mirror will ensure the requisite dimensional stability while minimizing weight, and with maximum structural simplicity.
