Next-Generation Space Telescope (NGST) and Space-Based Optical SETI
Many new space observatory projects are now being discussed and planned. With the primary goals of useful astronomical research, including detection and characterization of extrasolar planetary systems, the larger of such prospective observatories include the Next-Generation Space Telescope (NGST), Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF), Darwin, Life Finder (LF), and Planet Imager (PI). Several of the...
متن کاملAdjustable Synchronization: A Proposal for Next Generation Space Telescope Operations
The Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST), planned for launch in 2007, poses a number of interesting engineering challenges. This article addresses one such challenge, specifically that of maximizing observatory efficiency through an appropriate balance between non-real-time construction of the near-term observing schedule and onboard adaptation to real-time conditions during actual observatio...
متن کاملAn Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer for the Next Generation Space Telescope
Due to its simultaneous deep imaging and integral field spectroscopic capability, an Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrograph (IFTS) is ideally suited to the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) mission, and offers opportunities for tremendous scientific return in many fields of astro-physical inquiry. We describe the operation and quantify the advantages of an IFTS for space applications. The ...

متن کاملA Next-Generation Telescope for CFHT
It is argued that Canadian astronomers, in particular, will require access to more large telescope time than currently being planned and that French astronomers will require access to Northern facilities. It is also argued that it is probable that the new 8m class telescopes will out-perform CFHT in delivered image quality and be more cost-eeective in operation, so that CFHT will eventually hav...
