A tethered astrometric telescope facility

Abstract

A comparison is made between a tethered platform and a kinematically attached payload. Tethered platforms are capable of achieving a high level of passive vibration attenuation while reducing exposure to induced contamination to near-background levels. The Astrometric Telescope Facility, a payload being considered for operation from the Space Station, is described in detail.
