ASCHOT — Astrophysical Schmidt Orbital Telescope

View through CrossRef
AbstractThe necessity for a wide‐angle UV space telescope for astrophysical investigations is outlined. Some of the main scientific goals such as full sky survey and massive study of UV emission of extragalactic and galactic objects, which may be achieved by the use of the Astrophysical Schmidt Orbital Telescope ASCHOT, are presented.The concept of the telescope design, its optical system, and its system of guidance are described. Electronic devices which may be used as detectors of UV emission in the telescope are considered. The limiting sensitivity of the telescope is estimated: it is about 24m for stellar objects at 1500 Å. The control system of the telescope is brieffy described. At the end the organizations which take part in designing and manufacturing the telescope are listed.
