Mid-Infrared Optimized Resolution Spacecraft (MIRORS)
A concept study was performed in 1994 to develop a mission design for a telescope to achieve the highest possible spatial resolution in the 10-30 micron range within a $200 million mission cost cap. The selected approach for the resulting Mid-Infrared Optimized Resolution Spacecraft (MIRORS) concept design utilizes a partially filled five meter aperture.
