[quote:bevvy:MV8xMTEzNTg2XzE5NDUxNzc5XzIzNURDQUU3] Hello, just home from work waiting for dinner to cook, few pages behind still. I was going to post this last night thinking it was connected to 2jpl from woodys' post (where he had put 2 dots between a sentence), and then realised the 2 was just reffering to the authors. Hence my editing for stupidity statement. today I see Dhlos has posted this: [quote:dhlos 1105356] Strategic Defense Initiative Organization The initial focus of the strategic defense initiative was a [b]nuclear explosion-powered X-ray laser[/b] designed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory by a scientist named Peter L. Hagelstein[5] who worked with a team called[b] 'O Group'[/b], doing much of the work in the late 1970s and early 1980s. O Group was headed by physicist Lowell Wood, a protégé and friend of Edward Teller, the "father of the hydrogen bomb". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Defense_Initiative ...................................... [b]Directed Energy/Space-Based Laser[/b] Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) The Directed Energy (DE) program continues the process of integrating high power chemical laser components and technologies developed over the past 10 years specifically for the ballistic missile defense boost phase intercept mission. http://www.acq.osd.mil/bmdo/bmdolink/html/bmdolink.html (info has been 'pulled')404 [b]High Energy Laser Systems Test Facility[/b] The High Energy Laser Systems Test Facility (HELSTF) is located at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. HELSTF has been managed by the U.S. Army Space and Strategic Defense Command (USASSDC) since October 1990. HELSTF is designated as the Department of Defense (DoD) National Test Facility for high energy laser test and evaluation. HELSTF is the home of the [b]Mid Infrared Advanced Chemical Laser (MIRACL), the United States' most powerful laser.[/b] http://www.wsmr.army.mil/paopage/Pages/OHELST.htm (info has been 'pulled')404 why is hubble looking at the gulf? ;) [/quote] so I thought I'd add the pdf I found incase it is relevent, maybe maybe not... Science Cases for an Advanced Technology Large-Aperture Space Telescope (ATLAST) An 8-meter to 16-meter UVOIR Space Telescope for the 2025 - 2035 Era M. Postman1, W. Traub2, A. Fruchter1, D. Calzetti3, M. Giavalisco3, T. Brown1, K. Stapelfeldt2, W. Oegerle4 and the ATLAST Team Comparison with Large Ground-based Facilities High Angular resolution coupled with high sensitivity is increasingly a science-driven requirement for astronomy. The 20-m to 40-m groundbased telescopes using Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Systems will redefine the capabilities of ground-based imaging and spectroscopy. But there remain unassailable advantages of space in the UVO+NIR range: Wide-fields (several arcmin) or panoramic imaging (tens of arcmin) Stable, high Strehl ratios (>90%) Precise wavefront sensing and control Highly stable PSFs (<2% variability spatially and temporally) Ultra precise photometry (<0.0001 mag) and astrometry We compare the time to reach a S/N=10 as a function of spectral resolution for a 30-m ground-based telescope with that for 8-m and 16-m space telescopes. All assumed to have the same instrumental and detector performance. The 30-m ground-based telescope is assumed to be diffraction limited at wavelengths longer than 1 μm http://www.stsci.edu/institute/atlast/documents/mpostman_atlast_sci_aas2010.pdf [/quote]
