With the success of the Shuttle it seems now the Space Telescope will become a reality. The author wrote a study for the Langley Research Center in the summer of 1963 on the astronomical uses of a large space telescope which formed the basic document for the National Academy of Sciences Woods Hole study in 1965. This study recommended construction of a large space telescope scaled to use a Saturn V as the launch booster.

The initial study included some astrometric applications. Among these were various double star applications which is the subject of this symposium.
