18 Problems and challenges 1. Long cycles of projects. Not efficient planning of funding. Proper planning and control of cost is still a problem. Cost of the large and expensive projects often exceeds the planned limits many times! Should be improved. 2. Insufficient level of international cooperation prevents realization of best possible options. To work with space agencies. 3. Political interferences. They seem to be difficult to overcome but for the really ambitious project we have to find solution(s). Good example the ISS. 4. Multipurpose or dedicated missions. Both. 5. Surveys or targeted missions. UV and IR surveys seem to be very required. Kavli IAU Meeting, July 2017, Leiden, The Netherlands B.Shustov. Concepts from Russia 18

Main science drivers: Solar System Many of cosmogony and planetary dynamics problems can be solved if a multi-wavelength survey being performed with a large aperture wide-field telescopes (O and IR).

19 Main science drivers: Solar System Many of cosmogony and planetary dynamics problems can be solved if a multi-wavelength survey being performed with a large aperture wide-field telescopes (O and IR). Both imagery and spectroscopy will be helpful for a deep inventory and study of external areas of the Solar System, e.g. for regular survey and study of TNO (up 1000 a.u) population. Significant contribution to solution of NEO detection and study problem will be made either. The LSST is a promising optical tool. Large IR survey telescope can be even more promising.

20 Main science drivers: 100 pc Вasic problems is a complete inventory in the vicinity of the Sun (say within 100 pc). This is required for solution of many problems, including: determination of low-mass end of stellar (+brown dwarfs) IMF with sufficient completeness and accuracy; finding of Pop 2.5 stars, which chemical composition has imprints of PopIII stars; detailed analysis of physics and chemistry of the nearest exoplanets, etc. Kavli IAU Meeting, July 2017, Leiden, The Netherlands B.Shustov. Concepts from Russia 20

21 Main science drivers: distant Universe Observations of the near (z < 2) Universe in the UV are crucial for solving the problem of missing baryons, determination of the mass spectrum of Lyalpha absorbers, chemical and ionization history of the Universe, etc. UVobserv. domain An example: where to look for missing baryons Davé, 2004 Kavli IAU Meeting, July 2017, Leiden, The Netherlands B.Shustov. Concepts from Russia 21

22 Technological challenges and developments: new ideas An example: Fresnel telescope Large "Primary Array" module: 4 to 30 m diameter, or more. Field optics telescope 1/10 th to 1/20 th the diameter of Primary Array. Chromatic correction : Blazed lens or concave grating, 10 to 30 cm diameter focal Instrumentation: Spectro-imagers Koechlin 2009,2016 Kavli IAU Meeting, July 2017, Leiden, The Netherlands B.Shustov. Concepts from Russia 22

23 Technological challenges and developments: optoelectronic elements In optics both coating (reflectivity, stability, etc) and detector (quantum efficiency, dynamic range, lifetime and radiation hardness) parameters are approaching their fundamental limits. In UV domain there remains a lot of parameters to be substantialy improved. E.g. : GaN Kavli IAU Meeting, July 2017, Leiden, The Netherlands B.Shustov. Concepts from Russia 23

24 Technological challenges and developments Technology of light-weighted large deployable optical constructions (using new composite materials, membrane mirrors etc.) is quickly developing but really big space constructions of optical quality remain a challenge. Wait for JWST. Technology of operation with split-instruments is required (Fresnel Imager is a good example). There exist positive results of R&D of space-space interferometers. Technology of assembly, integration and verification of very large instruments in space: onboard space station, on planetary surface is becoming affordable. Telescopes that will be located outside Earth radiation belts, at lunar or at deep space distances will require for new communication systems, which down link rate has to be orders of magnitude higher than for existing ones (laser?)
