Submillimetre astronomy from space platforms

Abstract

The scientific need and the technical feasibility of a 10-m class far infrared telescope in space were studied and culminated in the recommendation of the large deployable reflector (LDR). The scientific considerations for such a project are described and the general characteristics of LDR are derived. A scientific program culminating in LDR is suggested.
