The article focuses on the space telescopes given by the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) to the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). It states one of the telescopes will serve as an alternative for the proposed Wide-Field Infrared Space Telescope (WFIRST) to be used for a mission in investigating dark energy. It mentions that the supporting structure of the telescope is made of a resin that resists distortion from temperature changes.
