ABSTRACT:
A space-based multi-aperture telescope is capable of achieving high fill factors, on the order of at least 50% and more preferably at least 80%. High fill factors can be achieved according to the present invention by providing a combiner section that combines the light collected by plural sub-aperture telescopes at the exit pupil of the telescope.
