Telescopes that are designed for the unconventional imaging of near-Earth satellites must follow unique design rules. The costs must be reduced substantially over those of the conventional telescope designs, and the design must accommodate a technique to circumvent atmospheric distortion of the image. Apertures of 12 m and more along with altitude-altitude mounts that provide high tracking rates are required. A novel design for such a telescope, optimized for speckle imaging, has been generated. Its mount closely resembles a radar mount, and it does not use the conventional dome. Costs for this design are projected to be considerably lower than those for the conventional designs. Results of a design study are presented with details of the electro-optical and optical designs.
专为近地卫星非常规成像设计的望远镜必须遵循独特的设计规则。与传统望远镜设计相比，成本必须大幅降低，并且设计必须采用一种技术来规避图像的大气畸变。需要12米及更大的孔径以及能提供高跟踪速率的方位-高度式支架。已经产生了一种针对散斑成像进行优化的此类望远镜的新颖设计。它的支架与雷达支架非常相似，并且不使用传统的圆顶。预计这种设计的成本将大大低于传统设计。给出了设计研究的结果以及电光和光学设计的详细信息。
