This paper discusses the concepts and key technologies associated with the Next Generation Space Telescope, a space based telescope that would be developed and launched as a follow-on to the Hubble Space Telescope in the 2005-2007 time frame. The telescope is conceived as being optimized in the near infrared region (1-5 microns), but with instruments capable of observing from the visible all the way to 30 microns. The material contained in this presentation is drawn from three separate studies. Two of the studies resulted in an 8 meter diameter deployable telescope launched on an Atlas II-AS, the third study developed the concept of a 6 meter diameter monolithic telescope which would be launched on a rocket with a 6 meter shroud. The planned technology program is also discussed.
