Scientific paper

For the past several years NASA has been developing the Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph (TPF-C), a space based telescope mission to look for Earth-like extra-solar planets. By evaluating the cumulative number of habitable zones observable with a given observation sequence (completeness) we test the relative merits of the baseline 8-m telescope design and smaller (2.5 - 4 m), less capable TPF-C designs based on various coronagraph technologies as well as external occulters.
