Scientific paper
The advantages of wavelength coverage, sky background and scintillation suppression gained from observation from space, are outlined. A comparison is made in the case of astronomical observation and the signal to noise ratios obtainable are compared for the Mount Palomar Telescope and the NASA Space Telescope. Design constraints imposed on spaceborne instruments are outlined with specific reference to material selection due to mass and stability requirements. Analytical and test techniques required to verify the design against the vibration and thermal environment are outlined.
