In a space system, we distinguish that which we call the ground segment and the space segment . 

Two-mirror telescopes are the most common optical design for ground based telescopes. These systems require a parabolic or hyperbolic primary mirror. As mentioned before, more complex optical systems can accommodate a spherical primary with its attendant simplifications, but several additional mirrors are needed to correct the spherical aberration, and the light loss and alignment complexity makes this configuration less commonly used. Here we will assume that a non spherical primary is needed and we will discuss the resulting surface shapes that segments will have.

The problems associated with deriving a polysaccharide structure from diffraction data remain. As the number of parameters needed to describe a segment of the chain is far greater than the number of diffraction spots, it is necessary to start with a model that is reasonable on steric grounds. Then, by comparison between observed and calculated diffraction data, the original postulate is modified to bring...
