![]() ![]() Discuss remaining technical gaps and potential future efforts for maturation/risk reduction.Discuss the suppression/stability trade space for the observatory and the coronagraph (note: this will not include performing trades, only mapping out the space).Present the best performances to-date of key technologies and approaches (lab demonstrations, modeling, hardware).Discuss current best understanding of required starlight suppression performance levels.To establish a common foundation in starlight suppression and ultra-stable telescope technologies, NASA’s Exoplanet Exploration Program is holding this hybrid workshop, August 8-10, 2023. The starlight suppression capability of HWO will require significant performance advances both in coronagraphy and telescope stability. The high-level science goals of the mission are to directly image ~25 potentially Earth-like planets and spectroscopically characterize them for signs of life, as well as enable transformative general astrophysics. NASA has begun planning for an ambitious program to develop the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) – the first in a panchromatic suite of Great Observatories recommended by the Astro2020 Decadal Survey. ![]()
