An optical design utilizing a 256-inch f/1.00 parabolic primary mirror is proposed to convert the existing Multiple Mirror Telescope to a maximum diameter, filled-aperture optical/infrared telescope without substantial modification. A 40-arcmin-diameter flat field of view is provided at an f/4.5 optical Cassegrain focus to allow the resulting image to give a sampling factor of 3.5 (27 microns) pixels per (2/3 arcsec) spatial information element. An f/9.0 Cassegrain focal expander-corrector with an atmospheric dispersion compensator is proposed which uses the f/4.5 secondary mirror.
