Fiber-linked telescope arrays on the ground and in space
The use of single-mode optical fibers in telescope arrays, first proposed for a set of free-flying spacecraft, is developed and applied to more modest, shorter range projects. The basic advantage remains a considerable simplification in the control system; the main limitation is spectral range. Two proposals are described: a ground-based array of small optical telescopes supported on a radio dish, and a similar space array. The control system is almost the same in both cases, hence the ground-based array can be considered a test-bench for the space device.

NASA/JPL study on optical imaging interferometry in space
The overall instrument morphology, optical design, structural configurations, and control and systems design for spaceborne optical interferometry are discussed. Launch stowage and on-orbit deployment considerations favor a Very Large Array Y-configuration, shuttle launched.
