Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) Technology Roadmap Webinar November 14, 2024

13 November 2024

The NASA Astrophysics Division ExEP and PhysCOS/COR program offices invite you to a Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) Technology Roadmap Webinar.

Please join HWO Chief Technologist Matt Bolcar and HWO Deputy Chief Technologist Feng Zhao, who will describe the HWO technology roadmap, and ways that the astrophysics technology community can get involved in achieving the goals of the roadmap. HWO is the concept for NASA’s next flagship space observatory, to be designed around the capability to discover and characterize potentially habitable plants orbiting other stars and to perform a broad and transformative program of astrophysics observations. These ambitious mission science goals require new technology — particularly in the areas of coronagraphy, ultra-stable telescopes, and ultra-violet instrumentation.

The event will consist of 45 minutes of talks followed by 45 minutes of Q&A/Discussion, where attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback on the roadmap. The Microsoft Teams connection link is included below. Please see the event web page here.

An illustration of Sun-like star HD 181327 and its surrounding debris disk. The star is at top right. It is surrounded by a far larger debris disk that forms an incomplete ellpitical path and is cut off at right. There’s a huge cavity between the star and the disk. The debris disk is shown in shades of light gray. Toward the top and left, there are finer, more discrete points in a range of sizes. The disk appears hazier and smokier at the bottom. The star is bright white at center, with a hazy blue region around it. The background of space is black. The label Artist's Concept appears at lower left.
