Scientific paper

NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center is currently evaluating several advanced optical space telescope concepts for the achievement of both higher sensitivity and greater angular resolution than the Hubble Space Telescope; their designs encompass one- and two-dimensional coherent arrays of mirrors in both focal and afocal configurations. Attention is given to those arrays that appear capable of fabrication and orbital deployment by the year 2005, and to the tradeoff involved between synthetic aperture concepts that furnish high angular resolution and those that yield sensitivity for faint, extended source imaging.
