Scientific paper

We describe the concept, basic design and capability of an eight meter class telescope currently being constructed by a international consortium of universities led by The Pennsylvania State University and The University of Texas at Austin. This unique telescope concept represents a deliberate trade between the science mission and technical cost drives. The basic science driver for the Spectroscopic Survey Telescope has traditionally been the need to obtain a large number of spectroscopic exposures in a short time. An efficient design that meets this need is a tilted Arecibo type telescope with a large segmented primary mirror. The SST has a number of other unique features that allow it to meet its science mission with unusual cost effectiveness.
