A Folded Astronomical Space Telescope is a 2.4-m Hubble Space Telescope class of telescope that can be packaged in a 1.5-m diameter cylinder through use of a single ring of eight deployable segments. Because it has less mass and uses a much smaller booster to inject it into orbit, the cost is greatly reduced. The enabling rationale, general configuration, and optical technologies for such a telescope are presented.
