Abstract
At present some large-scale programs are carried out in various countries that are aimed towards development of a new class of ground and space-based telescopes. Principal features required for modern telescopes are following: wide spectral range (from 0.2 up to 1000 mkm), high angular resolution of the order of 0.02 arcsec, large angular field of view (FOV) up to 1 degree´, minimal dimensions and weights.
