Nv. Ryabova et Dn. Eskov, MULTIAPERTURE-SYNTHESIS TELESCOPE SYSTEMS WITH DIRECT IMAGE-FORMATION, Soviet journal of optical technology, 60(8), 1993, pp. 507-521
This paper presents a review of multiaperture-synthesis telescope (MST
) systems with a large field of view, developed abroad as an alternati
ve to single telescopes with diameters of approximately 10 m and large
r. Primary attention is directed at analyzing the requirements on spac
e-based (MST) systems in order to obtain diffraction-limited image qua
lity and on the technical designs of the automated adjustment and phas
ing systems.
