Additional Spectrographic Channel Additional Detectors 14. K Telescope 15. Cylindrical section of 4.19 m diameter and 5.1 m length plus tapered cone of 5.54 m length. The launch vehicle shall deliver NGST to the appropriate target trajectry from which the on-board observatory propulsion system shall transfer NGST to L2. Inject into smallest angle halo orbit with minimum D V penalty.
Baseline is direct transfer trajectory.
Access Allow servicing propulsion system and battery on the launch pad. Safety Meet the Eastern Test Range Safety Requirements. Contamination Shield OTA from Thruster Effluents. Mitigate effects of micro-meteorites. Some propellant products will be ionized and trapped by space charge effects contributing to back flow.
