Re: Use of ISS for NEO data processing
That's actually a better idea than mine. The ISS could be the base for data processing, where a crew would always be available, instead of an intermittently-manned facility near the deep-space telescope site requiring more remote operation. I would still have the deep-space site be set up with pressurized areas for onsite maintenance by astronauts. In the absence of an atmosphere between the telescope site and the ISS, I would look into laser/optical data links (including the required relay satellites) between the facilities for really high-bandwith data transfer.
Projects such as Darwin show the feasibility of free-flying satellites operating in formation to work as an interferometry telescope.
