Abstract
A number of authors have suggested employing arrays of spacecraft for high spatial resolution optical aperture synthesis. This approach to imaging interferometry is in contrast to use of a monolithic structure to define the interferometer's optical geometry. The attractiveness of the multiple spacecraft approach stems from the possibility of achieving exceptionally high spatial resolution and of easily reconfiguring the array.
