The SuperNova Acceleration Probe is a prospective space mission that incorporates two cosmological probes of dark energy: a redshift magnitude diagram of 2000 SNe ranging to z=1.7, and a weak gravitational lensing survey spanning 1000 square degrees (4000 sq deg in an extended mission). Reliable weak lensing shear determination places stringent requirements on the telescope point spread function (PSF) and its time stability. We present estimates of the PSF and its time variations for a nominal mission environment. These estimates show that expected instrumental shear errors are ten to 1000 times smaller than the statistical errors in shear determination.
