In 2021, the National Academy of Sciences released its final recommendations in the Decadal Survey. It recommended that NASA consider a new 6-meter (20-foot) aperture telescope combining design elements of LUVOIR and HabEx. The new telescope would be called the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). A preliminary launch date was set for 2040, and ...
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is a large infrared, optical, and ultraviolet space telescope recommended by the National Academies’ Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics 2020. [1]
Diagram of the spacecraft bus. The solar panel is in green and the light purple flats are radiators shades. [citation needed] The bus is a carbon fibre box that houses a large number of major systems that keep the telescope functioning, such as the solar panels and computers. It also contains the MIRI cooler and some ISIM electronics.
A 20–30 meter balloon telescope has been suggested. [39] The balloon would be transparent on one side, and have a circular reflecting mirror on the other side. [39] There are two main designs using this principle. [39] Large Balloon Reflector (LBR) (sub-orbital version) Space-based Large Balloon Reflector (LBR) TeraHertz Space Telescope (TST ...
NEO Surveyor, formerly called Near-Earth Object Camera (NEOCam), then NEO Surveillance Mission, is a planned space-based infrared telescope designed to survey the Solar System for potentially hazardous asteroids. [3]
Multi-slit Solar Explorer. The Multi-slit Solar Explorer (MUSE) is a future NASA mission to study the heating of the solar corona and the impact of solar eruptions and flares that are at the foundation of space weather. MUSE will have two instruments, a multi-slit extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrograph and an EUV context imager. The satellite ...
NASA remodeled and upgraded the chamber to test the James Webb Space Telescope. As of 2013, it is the largest high-vacuum, cryogenic-optical test chamber in the world, 55 feet (17 m) in diameter by 90 feet (27 m) tall. It is equipped with a gaseous helium shroud capable of lowering temperatures to 11 K (−439.9 °F; −262.1 °C).
Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere (PUNCH) is a future mission by NASA to study the unexplored region from the middle of the solar corona out to 1 AU from the Sun. PUNCH will consist of a constellation of four microsatellites that through continuous 3D deep-field imaging, will observe the corona and heliosphere as elements of a ...
