Swarms of tiny satellites could act like one giant space telescope – TechCrunch

It won’t be long before the James Webb Space Telescope is launched, an enormous and complex feat of engineering — but all one piece. That’s a good thing for now, but new research suggests that in the near future giant telescopes like the Webb might be replaced (or at least augmented) by swarms of tiny spacecraft working in concert. One advance, from Ben-Gurion University in Israel, is a leap in
