Satellite Astronomical Telescopes
The program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration includes several projects designed to obtain astronomical observations from satellites. Telescopes with apertures up to at least 36 in. appear to be practical for satellite use. They will be individually designed for particular spectral regions and particular experimental objectives and usually will be based on photodetectors and electronics imaging devices which will substitute for the camera and the human eye.
