Abstract
The advantages of making astrometric observations from space are reviewed, and a project for measuring angular separations between stars along great circle arcs of the order of 90°, by means of a telescope mounted on a TD 1 satellite is described. Positions with accuracy of the order of ±0″.01, parallaxes to ±0″.007 and proper motions to ±0″.005 yr-1 for some 40000 stars brighter than 9m.5 would be obtainable in a two year programme.
