Scientific paper

NASA's Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) is being developed for high resolution (0.1 arcsec from 115 to 500 nm) studies of the sun. SOT will be a Gregorian telescope with an unvignetted field of at least three arcmin diameter, covering wavelengths from 115 to 1100 nm. The telescope will have low scattered light and accommodate a variety of focal plane instruments. It will operate in the prime-focus mode, so that UV instruments can be operated with the primary alone. The mass of SOT with instruments will be limited to 4100 kg, and the power to 1400 watts continuous. Finally, the SOT must be compatible with the Instrument Pointing System and Annular Suspension and Pointing System Gimbal System.
