Hipparcos' purpose is not to resolve images.

To resolve an image determines the distance to that image which I believe is the purpose of an astronomic telescope when viewing a star.

The purpose of Hipparcos was to determine the POSITIONS of stars.

Resolution requirements for determining accurate position are much lower 
than for imaging.

No that’s wrong. Shipman’s book on Black Holes, Quasars, and the Universe
has nice notes on observational astronomy methods in it.

I just said Hipparcos' purpose is not to resolve images.
Can't you read?
