Conceptual design of an autonomously assembled space telescope (AAST)

We will present a new approach to enable very large aperture telescopes in space. The approach is to autonomously assemble a segmented filled aperture telescope in space using components which may be launched into orbit using multiple launches. Autonomous assembly is a technology that can break the 10 m barrier in space optics imposed by launch vehicle limitations. The autonomously assembled space telescope (AAST) will follow the lead of Hubble telescope which uses monolithic optics, and JWST, which will implement deployable optics. An autonomously assembled space telescope of greater than 10 m diameter can significantly enhance the resolution and detection limit for imaging and space science, as well as enable formation of cost effective telescope constellations in space.
