The ASTRO 2010 Decadal Survey emphasized that NASA priority should be given to Principal Investigator led Explorer competed missions. Since the percentage of a mission's resources available to telescope implementation must be only a fraction of the mission cap, it is timely to examine paradigms that are capable of yielding the maximum credible telescope for the intended mission. We will discuss an integrated product team approach which leverages on extensions from heritage hardware, references actual cost experience, and can produce sophisticated spaceborne telescopes under constraints of Explorer class missions. Lessons learned from the recent WISE telescope, implemented at L-3 Integrated Optical Systems (SSG, Tinsley, Brashear) are evoked. This approach is relevant to planetary and earth science missions, as well as to astrophysics missions.
