Study Of Space-Based Optical Interferometer

Abstract

Report discusses calibration and operation of conceptual Focus Mission Interferometer (FMI), consisting of component instruments mounted at widely separated locations on large truss structure in orbit 1,400 km above Earth. Includes six telescopes in linear array. Outputs combined in pairlike fashion so FMI operates as three distinct two-telescope interferometers. Accurate enough for submilliarcsecond astrometry.
