The Spectroscopic Survey Telescope
Abstract
The scientific goals and technical character of the eight meter Spectroscopic Survey Telescope are described. The project to build this optical telescope in west Texas by the middle of this decade is a joint collaboration between The Pennsylvania State University, The University of Texas at Austin, and others. The strategy of this project is to limit the scientific mission to spectroscopy, emphasizing survey science. This results in an inexpensive, yet powerful facility for astronomy.
