The Colossus Consortium
is a world leading group of innovative entrepreneurs, scientists
and engineers developing technology innovations allowing 50-100m class
dedicated optical structures to be built with the resources now being
allocated for general-purpose astronomical telescopes of significantly
smaller aperture.
Vision:
To develop the concept and enabling technology for the world-largest
telescope Colossus capable to detect extrasolar life and extraterrestrial
civilizations.
Mission:
To balance the Colossus design against the probability of success
with limited resources, time to completion, and the overall cost.
To achieve these ingredients of a fundable design in a short time period.
