Conceptual Design Considerations for the Astrometric Telescope Facility
Abstract
The system of an astrometric telescope on the Space Station and its support by the Station are described and its feasibility demonstrated. The conceptual design shows that such a facility provides a basis for the study of design alternatives and a point of departure for a detailed design. Basic requirements for this preliminary design are outlined.
