Scientific paper

The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) is NASA's first space science interferometer, and will enable fundamental new discoveries in both Galactic and extra-galactic astronomy, including cosmic distance scale. It will also address questions related to the origins and prevalence of planetary systems. SIM is designed with a 10m baseline, providing high-throughput 4 μas global astrometry and synthesis imaging in the visible at a resolution of 10 milliarcsec. It demonstrates several key technologies, including coronagraphic-type 104 extinction nulling of a central bright source, needed for future missions in NASA's Origins Program, such as the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) and Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF).
