Proposed Payloads & their Locations on the Actual Multiple Function ALAT Platform

- 3 TO 3.5 METER TELESCOPE(S) (On top, lower sides, or on a controllable array assembly which can be rotated to protect telescopes).

- Primary Mirror = F/1.0; Cassegrain Focus = F/15.
- Focusing Telecompressor = 0.6x to 0.8x.
- Wide Field Imaging Telecompressor = 0.2x.
- Fields of View = 0.016 deg. & 0.08 deg. with 12 mm CCDs.
- Field Acquisition Fields of View = 50 deg., 4 deg., & 0.3 deg.
- Mounting = Altitude / Azimuth with Optional 3rd Cross Axis.
- Used for observation, surveillance, tracking, ranging, & deep-space optical communication.

- 20 CM CORONAGRAPH

. Enhanced by nearby deployment of an optional small opaque robotic LTA device to create an artificial "eclipse" (should be effective at ~21 km altitude).

- 0.5 to 0.75 meter air to air & air to ground OPTICAL COMMUNICATION & SURVEILLANCE TELESCOPE (Below middle front).

- Can theoretically resolve license plate numbers from up to 40 km.
- Primary Mirror = f/1.0 to f/2.0; Cassegrain Focus = f/6 to f/15.
- Mounting = Inverted Alt /Az with Optional 3rd Cross Axis.
