Annotation Representatives of the astronomical and technical communities trade views on the state of the Next Generation Space Telescope just after instrument studies in the US, Europe, and Canada were completed and being presented in public for the first time, and Phase A prime contractors had been selected and were beginning their detailed design studies. In 66 reports they consider problems facing the design, construction, and use of the instrument and the benefits and drawbacks of various solutions to them, focusing mostly on infrared astronomy in the near and middle ranges.
