Scientific paper

The Cold Interferometric Nulling Demonstration in Space (CINDIS) is a modest-cost technology demonstration mission, in support of interferometer architectures for Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF). It is designed to provide as complete as possible a demonstration of the key technologies needed for a TPF interferometer at low risk, for a cost less than $300M. CINDIS foregoes scientific objectives at the outset, enabling significant cost savings that allow us to demonstrate important features of a TPF interferometer, such as high-contrast nulling interferometry at 10 μm wavelength, vibration control strategies, instrument pointing and path control, stray light control, and possibly 4-aperture compound nulling. This concept was developed in response to the NASA Extra-Solar Planets Advanced Concepts NRA (NRA-01-OSS-04); this paper presents the results of the first phase of the study.
