Preliminary Performance Analysis of the Space Interferometer Mission Using an Integrated Modeling Methodology
Space Interferometer Mission (SIM) scheduled for launch in 2006, is one of the premiere missions in the Origins Program, NASA's endeavor to understand the origins of the galaxies, of planetary systems around distant stars, and perhaps the origins of life itself.

Wavefront Sensing and Control for a Next Generation Space Telescope
The Next Generation Space Telescope will provide more than ten times the collecting area of the Hubble Space Telescope in a package that fits into the shroud of an expendable launch vehicle. This paper illustrates the operation and performance expected for initial telescope alignment, segment phasing, and fine figure control for the NGST yardstick design.
