Aperture and volume constraints can impact the design form of a telescope. While freeform optics may positively impact volume and weight, opting for a conventional approach may still be the optimal choice. This paper will include a design for an Earth-observing telescope, along with an exploration of the methodology and trade-offs associated with various design forms investigated throughout the design process.
