This list contains proposals for space telescopes, space-based (situated in space) astronomical observatories. It is a list of past and present space observatory plans, concepts, and proposals. For observatories in orbit, see list of space telescopes. Unlike that list, this one includes concepts and proposals that are unlikely ever to be ...
The design of the Roman Space Telescope shares a heritage with various proposed designs for the Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM) between NASA and the Department of Energy (DOE). The original design, called WFIRST Design Reference Mission 1, was studied in 2011–2012, featuring a 1.3 m (4.3 ft) diameter unobstructed three-mirror anastigmat ...
LUVOIR-A, previously known as the High Definition Space Telescope (HDST), was proposed by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) on 6 July 2015. [12] It would be composed of 36 mirror segments with an aperture of 15.1 metres (50 ft) in diameter, offering images up to 24 times sharper than the Hubble Space Telescope. [13]
List of proposed space observatories; Spacecraft at Sun–Earth L 1; NEOs search projects. B612 Foundation, an organization that studied NEOs and proposed a similar mission; Sentinel Space Telescope, B612's failed space telescope proposal similar to NEOSM; Near Earth Object Surveillance Satellite, a Canadian small satellite intended to detect NEOs
This is a list of proposed space probes that are planned to focus on the exploration of the Solar System, ordered by date of spacecraft launch. Launched probes are in the List of Solar System probes and the List of active Solar System probes .
The telescope will be able to look at a patch of sky 100 times larger than both the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope can. It will be able to peer up to 13.2 billion light ...
FOCAL (an acronym for Fast Outgoing Cyclopean Astronomical Lens) is a proposed space telescope that would use the Sun as a gravity lens.The gravitational lens effect was first derived by Albert Einstein, [1] and the concept of a mission to the solar gravitational lens was first suggested by professor Von Eshleman, [2] and analyzed further by Italian astronomer Claudio Maccone [3] and others.
Scale comparison between the primary mirrors of the Hubble Space Telescope, James Webb Space Telescope, and the proposed LUVOIR-B and LUVOIR-A. Selected large telescopes which are in detailed design or pre-construction phases: Large UV Optical Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR), a proposed space telescope for launch in the mid 2030s.
