Dear Mr. Luke S. Walker:

 My team and I have solved your problem by developing a ranking system. Out of the five telescopes you have given us, Target Acquisition is suited for variety of missions. The rank of the telescopes from best to worst is based on the following: Target Acquisition, Wide Field, Advanced Spectroscope, Extended Time, and High Resolution. The first step we did was to rank the criteria. The rank of the criteria from most important to least important is based on the following: Resolution, Time of Focus, Spectrograph, Max Viewing Time, and View of Field. The next step was to rank the telescopes for each criteria. Once we ranked the telescopes for each criteria, we gather all of the data and made a chart to have a better view on each telescope information. Lastly we ranked the telescopes on how many times it was 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th.


 * **Criteria** || **Resolution** || **Time to Focus** || **Spectrograph Range** || **Max Viewing Time** || **Field of View** ||
 * 1st || High Resolution || Target Acquisition || Advanced Spectroscope || Extended Time || Wide Field ||
 * 2nd || Wide Field || Advanced Spectroscope || Wide Field || Target Acquisition || Target Acquisition ||
 * 3rd || Target Acquisition || High Resolution || Target Acquisition || Advanced Spectroscope || Extended Time ||
 * 4th || Extended Time || Wide Field || Extended Time || Wide Field || Advanced Spectroscope ||
 * 5th || Advanced Spectroscope || Extended Time || High Resolution || High Resolution || High Resolution ||

In conclusion, based on the graph Target Acquisition is the best out of the five telescopes. Target Acquisition has always been ranked between 1st - 2nd, but it was never ranked the last. I hope my team and I have answered your problem and we hope to see the telescope when it is made. Thank you for contacting us to work on this project.

Sincerely,
