  We advocate for a mission concept study for a space telescope dedicated to
solar system science in Earth orbit. Such a study was recommended by the
Committee on Astrobiology and Planetary Science (CAPS) report "Getting Ready
for the Next Planetary Science Decadal Survey." The Mid-Decadal Review also
recommended NASA to assess the role and value of space telescopes for planetary
science. The need for high-resolution, UV-Visible capabilities is especially
acute for planetary science with the impending end of the Hubble Space
Telescope (HST); however, NASA has not funded a planetary telescope concept
study, and the need to assess its value remains. Here, we present potential
design options that should be explored to inform the decadal survey.
