Descripción
The design and construction of an asteroid-borne giant optical telescope, and a multi-antenna ultra long baseline free-flying radio interferometer are described. The large scale and extreme tolerance of each instrument will require fabrication in space from nonterrestrial materials, and novel features of optical design. Details of the capabilities and operational requirements of the completed telescopes are given.
