Scientific paper

The Next Generation Space Telescope will be the premier instrument for astrophysical research a decade from now. This paper describes the reference concept for the observatory being studied by a prime contractor team led by TRW and Ball Aerospace. We give an overview of the space segment of the mission, and the rationale for its heliocentric orbit at the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrangian point. At the time of this meeting many details of the engineering design are still open for trade studies. We highlight a few whose resolution will have implications for the scientific performance of the observatory, and for which preferences and recommendations from the scientific community are welcomed.
