Scientific paper

A spaceborne optical array (TRIO) consisting of 2 to 4 telescopes spaced up to 1000 m apart, at Lagrange point 5 of the Earth-Moon trajectory is described. For kilometric baselines and variable aperture patterns allowing image reconstructions, TRIO has free flying telescopes and a focal station. Small solar sails point and stabilize the system. Electrostatic mounts support the telescopes. Many apertures can be utilized in later versions.
