Scientific paper

The PAMELA (Phased Array Mirror, Extendable Large Aperture) optical technology, which provides important new possibilities for constructing very large telescopes, is described. The PAMELA approach leads directly to the ability to build rugged, diffraction-limited optical telescopes or beam expanders for ground-based or orbital deployment which have unprecedentedly low weight. Such systems will be fault-tolerant, leading to large expected savings in overall system cost and complexity.
