Scientific paper

The promised science and enabling technologies for high-contrast space imaging have been explored in the contexts of NGST, TPF, and NASA Explorer/Discovery class missions. The many possible solutions involve combinations of active wavefront correction, coronagraphs, apodization, interferometers, and large free-flying occulters. What capabilities are promised by these various mission concepts, and what miracles of technology remain to be developed? Here we review and compare these concepts in their application to future explorations of nearby planetary systems.
