The Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph (TPF-C) technology development and mission architecture is progressing to enable a launch date in 2014-2015 timeframe. The status of the technology effort in areas related to achieving deeper starlight suppression and the mission architecture development, design choices and challenges will be summarized in this poster. The technology summary will include recent test results from the High Contrast Imaging Testbed; status of the Technology Demonstration Mirror; investigation results of coating analyses; and masks and stops theory, modeling and fabrication progress. System architecture progress will include trade studies on primary mirror, telescope form, orbit, structural choices, and thermal control. Performance of the first iteration of the system will be presented as well as direction toward the next baseline being evaluated.
This work was performed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
