Deep Photographic Survey from Spacelab
Abstract
Some ideas concerning a deep-survey project to be carried out with a Spacelab-borne Schmidt-type telescope are discussed. Advantages of performing a deep photographic survey in space are reviewed. Possible optical designs and a mechanical configuration are described for an all-reflecting folded Schmidt telescope intended for observations from Spacelab in spectral bands ranging from the far-UV to the IR. The capabilities of a proposed survey telescope are examined.
