AstroTech 21. Volume 2: Integrated Technologies.

Abstract

In 1989 the Astrophysics Division of NASA Headquarters initiated AstroTech 21, a joint program of the Office of Advanced Concepts and Technology to lay the technological foundation for its scientific program for the 21st century. Recommended initiatives include: Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF); Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA); Astrometric Interferometry Mission (AIDMO); optical and infrared interferometry in space; technology for the next generation observatories, including large telescope technology; submillimeter receiver and telescope technology; and high energy mirror and detector technology.
