A separated spacecraft optical interferometer mission concept proposed for NASA'a New Millenium Program is described. The interferometer insturment is distributed over three small spacecraft: two spacecraft serve as collectors, directing starlight toward a third spacecraft which combines the light and performs the interferometric detection.
