if you mean de to the ground,
wavel won't help. imaging is not the same thing

usual scenarios are to go after boost phase and AP did a half cooked job but mentioned some of the weaknesses

space requires a lot os platforms even for boost, its about angles of ...

phasing a mirror in space is a tech hurdle and a half

recall NGST (NASA not TRW) "stepped down" from their 8 meter

down to 5.6m and no promise date to the extent that Hubble will be down (2008, 9, 10, 11?) and there will be no big phased mirror in space

phasing is very very hard to do
