Scientific paper
The use of inflatable space-rigidized structures for use in orbital optical interferometry systems is discussed. Their ability to provide 100 m long supporting elements for such interferometers is analyzed. It is found that such systems can be built and packaged for launch to geostationary orbit by Ariane 5 with specific masses of 0.8 to 1.8 kg/m. They can be stiff enough to be controllable, and provide interfaces for observing telescopes sufficiently free of vibration for sensor scanning frequencies. The use of such optical interferometric methods is discussed.
