We will be high above the distorting effects of the atmosphere. No weather or light pollution to deal with. In space, the dark starry sky is available 24 hours a day. From space, we can see both the northern and southern hemispheres for sky and the ground. We can get the best possible resolution and uninterrupted access to objects for long periods of time. This is because we don't have to deal with day and night cycle.

Another advantage of being in space is being able to image and study the Earth from above. You can study the environment, geology, migrations, effects of population, pollution, increase crop yields and much, much more. It is amazing what you can do with today's imaging technology and how much is can help all of us.


Now that you have access to your own space telescope, what can you do with it?
 
  1. Take fantastic pictures
  2. Do research on
    1. Eclipsing bianaries
    2. Exoplanet occulations
    3. Measuring Orbital data (asteroids, comets, etc.)
    4. Exoplanets, through spectral shifting
    5. Stellar evolution
    6. Expansion of the universe
    7. Intergalactic medium
    8. Dark matter
  3. Discover new, never before seen things
    1. New exoplanets
    2. New asteroids
    3. New Comets
    4. Supernovae
    5. New Galaxies
  4. Fast reaction research
    1. Respond to a gravity wave incident and aim the telescope to start taking data.
    2. Monitor a new supernova
    3. Get data on a new gamma ray burst (GRB) or radio burst
