论文摘要

我们倡导一项针对地球轨道太阳系科学的太空望远镜的任务概念研究。天体生物学和行星科学委员会（CAPS）推荐了这样的研究，报告“为下一个行星科学衰落的调查做准备。”中期审查还建议NASA评估行星科学的太空望远镜的作用和价值。对于行星科学而言，对高分辨率可见的能力的需求尤其急切，而哈勃太空望远镜（HST）即将到来。但是，NASA尚未资助行星望远镜概念研究，并且需要评估其价值的需求。在这里，我们提出了潜在的设计选项，应探讨这些选择，以告知际年年调查。

We advocate for a mission concept study for a space telescope dedicated to solar system science in Earth orbit. Such a study was recommended by the Committee on Astrobiology and Planetary Science (CAPS) report "Getting Ready for the Next Planetary Science Decadal Survey." The Mid-Decadal Review also recommended NASA to assess the role and value of space telescopes for planetary science. The need for high-resolution, UV-Visible capabilities is especially acute for planetary science with the impending end of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST); however, NASA has not funded a planetary telescope concept study, and the need to assess its value remains. Here, we present potential design options that should be explored to inform the decadal survey.
