ATLAST-8 Mission Concept Study for 8-Meter Monolithic UV/Optical Space Telescope
2010
ATLAST-8m is an 8-meter monolithic UV/optical/NIR space observatory which could be placed in orbit at Sun-Earth
L2 by a heavily lift launch vehicle. Two development study cycles have resulted in a detailed concept including a dual
foci optical design; several primary mirror launch support and secondary mirror support structural designs; spacecraft
propulsion, power and pointing control design; and thermal design. ATLAST-8m is designed to yield never before
achieved performance to obtain fundamental astronomical breakthroughs.
