POINTS is a high-precision, high-throughput interferometer intended for astromomy only. It can perform science compatable with astrophysics (AIM) and planet detection (TOPS-1). The spacecraft will be compact, lightweight, and suitable for high Earth orbit. It will employ the minimal number and complexity of mechanisms or deployable parts and be designed for a 10 year mission life.
