1 00:00:12,250 --> 00:00:06,150 you 2 00:00:16,900 --> 00:00:14,190 [Music] 3 00:00:20,019 --> 00:00:16,910 yeah part of this park was already given 4 00:00:23,410 --> 00:00:20,029 and so I imagined Lubar as being a giant 5 00:00:25,810 --> 00:00:23,420 telescope that we probably park at l2 so 6 00:00:29,109 --> 00:00:25,820 beyond the moon it lasts for a century 7 00:00:31,330 --> 00:00:29,119 right lasts for decades and it is a 8 00:00:34,689 --> 00:00:31,340 serviceable Oh John are you down to go 9 00:00:37,150 --> 00:00:34,699 to l2 and it takes a couple of weeks 10 00:00:40,030 --> 00:00:37,160 right or you can do a lot by robotic Lee 11 00:00:43,390 --> 00:00:40,040 but this is really a grand sort of 12 00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:43,400 vision I think it's also we should think 13 00:00:48,670 --> 00:00:45,920 of this not so much in isolation I would 14 00:00:51,490 --> 00:00:48,680 really love to see NASA develop the idea 15 00:00:53,650 --> 00:00:51,500 of an l2 Observatory where maybe NASA 16 00:00:55,930 --> 00:00:53,660 sets up the infrastructure and whatever 17 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:55,940 we do for exoplanets is one of the 18 00:00:59,799 --> 00:00:57,770 missions I think the other studies far 19 00:01:01,959 --> 00:00:59,809 infrared and the high-energy emissions 20 00:01:04,869 --> 00:01:01,969 should be done as well but you can 21 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:04,879 imagine then having China deliver an 22 00:01:11,710 --> 00:01:09,530 instrument or a or a toast go up to the 23 00:01:14,650 --> 00:01:11,720 l2 observatory right and we can partner 24 00:01:15,850 --> 00:01:14,660 that way to actually all do more so play 25 00:01:17,950 --> 00:01:15,860 a little bit about what we've been 26 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:17,960 working on with revoir and the first 27 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:19,850 thing I wanted to talk about is the name 28 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:22,250 right so you already heard large 29 00:01:27,399 --> 00:01:24,650 ultraviolet optical infrared telescope 30 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:27,409 and when a lot of people see this the 31 00:01:33,429 --> 00:01:31,130 name they pronounce it the wah okay like 32 00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:33,439 it's French all right you you pronounce 33 00:01:38,940 --> 00:01:37,040 it like a pirate the war okay so maybe 34 00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:38,950 we need to practice that is the war 35 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:42,970 alright and so this is a space telescope 36 00:01:47,890 --> 00:01:45,290 in the tradition of Hubble that will 37 00:01:50,770 --> 00:01:47,900 last for a long time it has very broad 38 00:01:54,130 --> 00:01:50,780 science capabilities it extends from the 39 00:01:55,210 --> 00:01:54,140 far UV to the near IR band Paso's I'll 40 00:02:00,249 --> 00:01:55,220 show you a little bit more about that 41 00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:00,259 through the top and the wind paw hertz 42 00:02:04,780 --> 00:02:03,110 asked us to study this mission concept 43 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:04,790 you know he said think about something 44 00:02:10,509 --> 00:02:08,570 in the range of 12 meter telescope or 15 45 00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:10,519 meter telescope but then I want you to 46 00:02:15,490 --> 00:02:13,040 tell me what we get scientifically if we 47 00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:15,500 put another ring of mirrors around this 48 00:02:21,130 --> 00:02:18,049 segmented telescope so it's truly a 49 00:02:23,619 --> 00:02:21,140 grand sort of vision we've been working 50 00:02:25,710 --> 00:02:23,629 on the types of instruments that we 51 00:02:28,890 --> 00:02:25,720 would have and where we think 52 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:28,900 this as you heard all new missions that 53 00:02:34,110 --> 00:02:31,450 of this sort of scope have to be 54 00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:34,120 serviceable ok so we have to plan for 55 00:02:38,370 --> 00:02:36,160 that from the beginning that the 56 00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:38,380 instruments can be upgraded it would be 57 00:02:43,650 --> 00:02:40,480 the space observatory for the 21st 58 00:02:45,690 --> 00:02:43,660 century right an incredible way to 59 00:02:48,990 --> 00:02:45,700 answer questions that we haven't even 60 00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:49,000 began to ask yet and to sort of put this 61 00:02:53,970 --> 00:02:51,280 in context imagine astronomy today 62 00:02:55,950 --> 00:02:53,980 without Hubble right how different it 63 00:02:59,790 --> 00:02:55,960 would be without these sorts of pictures 64 00:03:03,180 --> 00:02:59,800 that we have and so that's what we're 65 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:03,190 trying to imagine how astronomy will be 66 00:03:08,780 --> 00:03:05,890 changed when we go to Louvre are so here 67 00:03:11,790 --> 00:03:08,790 are some simulations you see a 68 00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:11,800 hypothetical planet 9 on the left-hand 69 00:03:16,740 --> 00:03:14,080 column are the actual observations that 70 00:03:20,610 --> 00:03:16,750 the pinwheel galaxy and then you see how 71 00:03:22,350 --> 00:03:20,620 these images would look with different 72 00:03:26,310 --> 00:03:22,360 telescopes which with the hubble space 73 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:26,320 telescope with a small have x or 74 00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:28,410 lukewarm mission a 16 metre telescope 75 00:03:34,830 --> 00:03:30,790 and with something that's like you know 76 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:34,840 at 16 18 meters in diameter so so size 77 00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:36,730 does matter 78 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:39,280 you can learn this is a telescope that 79 00:03:44,970 --> 00:03:42,330 we envision will be for exoplanets 80 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:44,980 astrobiology but will also serve the 81 00:03:49,770 --> 00:03:47,650 entire astronomical community will be 82 00:03:53,460 --> 00:03:49,780 able to study better how galaxies form 83 00:03:56,009 --> 00:03:53,470 and assemble their first stars so these 84 00:03:58,140 --> 00:03:56,019 rings show you in some sense the 85 00:04:01,770 --> 00:03:58,150 physical distance that we can go out 86 00:04:03,410 --> 00:04:01,780 into into the universe right the Hubble 87 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:03,420 Space Telescope has given us these 88 00:04:10,890 --> 00:04:06,850 unbelievable pictures at the Deep Field 89 00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:10,900 and early galaxies JWST will be able to 90 00:04:15,060 --> 00:04:13,150 look a little bit further out and then 91 00:04:18,449 --> 00:04:15,070 depending on the size of the of a louvre 92 00:04:20,310 --> 00:04:18,459 our telescope 8 meters to 16 meters will 93 00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:20,320 make the difference between being able 94 00:04:24,990 --> 00:04:22,479 to actually see a large number of 95 00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:25,000 elliptical galaxies giant elliptical 96 00:04:32,610 --> 00:04:28,479 galaxies and understand those so leVoir 97 00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:32,620 will help us to reach out to 12 mega 98 00:04:37,950 --> 00:04:35,680 parsecs with incredible resolution we'll 99 00:04:40,650 --> 00:04:37,960 be able to actually resolve stars 100 00:04:43,499 --> 00:04:40,660 in the galaxies at these distances you 101 00:04:46,890 --> 00:04:43,509 already saw this one of these images in 102 00:04:49,529 --> 00:04:46,900 John's talk but the Europa Jets served 103 00:04:51,390 --> 00:04:49,539 with HST would have this kind of a 104 00:04:53,159 --> 00:04:51,400 resolution with leVoir so we're 105 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:53,169 imagining that this is a Space Telescope 106 00:04:58,140 --> 00:04:56,289 that also serves the planetary science 107 00:05:02,219 --> 00:04:58,150 community people studying the solar 108 00:05:05,460 --> 00:05:02,229 system and then the killer app for the 109 00:05:08,659 --> 00:05:05,470 apps icon folks here is our ability to 110 00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:08,669 use a coronagraph and take images of 111 00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:12,310 Venus and Earth and Jupiter like planets 112 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:15,520 orbiting stars this is an example a 113 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:17,650 simulation of a solar system that's 114 00:05:23,610 --> 00:05:20,650 thirteen parsecs away and it has a 115 00:05:26,010 --> 00:05:23,620 coronagraph on a 12 meter telescope so 116 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:26,020 it's the kind of resolution and images 117 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:28,810 that you can expect to see we can then 118 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:31,330 begin to take spectra of those dots if 119 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:33,570 we can null out the light from the star 120 00:05:40,140 --> 00:05:36,849 the inner working angle is about 4 121 00:05:42,719 --> 00:05:40,150 lambda over D allows us at 13 parsecs to 122 00:05:47,149 --> 00:05:42,729 be able to easily resolve Venus and 123 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:47,159 certainly earth in a solar system analog 124 00:05:53,460 --> 00:05:50,650 so again the bio signatures are really 125 00:05:56,550 --> 00:05:53,470 what we're after right you can imagine 126 00:05:58,170 --> 00:05:56,560 looking for Rayleigh scattering but we 127 00:06:02,610 --> 00:05:58,180 also would like to be able to resolve 128 00:06:04,230 --> 00:06:02,620 oxygen see if there's water vapor see if 129 00:06:07,230 --> 00:06:04,240 there's methane coming out of the back 130 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:07,240 ends or some cows on those planets and 131 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:09,849 this means that we have to look from 0.4 132 00:06:15,689 --> 00:06:13,210 microns to 2.4 microns for the optical 133 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:15,699 and near-infrared spectroscopy with the 134 00:06:23,010 --> 00:06:19,810 resolution of about 150 so a reality 135 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:23,020 check is that this shows a spectrum of a 136 00:06:28,350 --> 00:06:26,289 modern earth and you see the wavelength 137 00:06:31,469 --> 00:06:28,360 range going again from point four to 138 00:06:33,930 --> 00:06:31,479 about two point five where the error 139 00:06:36,830 --> 00:06:33,940 bars get very large because the thermal 140 00:06:43,409 --> 00:06:36,840 background from the telescope is so high 141 00:06:45,540 --> 00:06:43,419 and if we looked at the Archaean earth 142 00:06:47,850 --> 00:06:45,550 so we heard about this this morning you 143 00:06:49,709 --> 00:06:47,860 know maybe we're looking at planets that 144 00:06:51,420 --> 00:06:49,719 are habitable worlds but they don't 145 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:51,430 really quite look like ours 146 00:06:56,430 --> 00:06:54,370 you'd still be able to resolve whether 147 00:07:01,560 --> 00:06:56,440 or not there are these important oxygen 148 00:07:03,930 --> 00:07:01,570 or o3 signatures in the spectra so it 149 00:07:06,810 --> 00:07:03,940 allows us to have access to an 150 00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:06,820 incredible range of molecules and that 151 00:07:11,460 --> 00:07:08,800 helps us to understand the atmospheres 152 00:07:16,140 --> 00:07:11,470 we'll be able to see bands of oxygen 153 00:07:19,740 --> 00:07:16,150 ozone oh four hi h2o carbon monoxide 154 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:19,750 carbon dioxide and methane and the key 155 00:07:24,900 --> 00:07:22,570 is that will have multiple bands of the 156 00:07:26,730 --> 00:07:24,910 same molecules this isn't for anyone who 157 00:07:29,340 --> 00:07:26,740 does spectroscopy you understand how 158 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:29,350 important this is to be able to have a 159 00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:33,370 secure abundance measurement the broad 160 00:07:37,860 --> 00:07:35,289 spectral band pass and the ultraviolet 161 00:07:40,980 --> 00:07:37,870 spectrum of the star can probably help 162 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:40,990 us to rule out the false positive oxygen 163 00:07:45,589 --> 00:07:43,090 signatures bio signatures that we heard 164 00:07:49,409 --> 00:07:45,599 about at the end of the morning sessions 165 00:07:52,650 --> 00:07:49,419 and since the interworking angle with a 166 00:07:55,650 --> 00:07:52,660 large loop our telescope allows us to 167 00:07:58,290 --> 00:07:55,660 see planets like the earth at longer 168 00:08:00,570 --> 00:07:58,300 wavelengths will that will again give us 169 00:08:03,719 --> 00:08:00,580 more access to these incredible bio 170 00:08:05,909 --> 00:08:03,729 signatures we've done trade studies so 171 00:08:08,969 --> 00:08:05,919 there's another concept mission that's 172 00:08:11,969 --> 00:08:08,979 being studied have X and have X and 173 00:08:14,399 --> 00:08:11,979 lawar and some sense are a continuum of 174 00:08:17,219 --> 00:08:14,409 science both missions want to look at 175 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:17,229 bio signatures both missions want to 176 00:08:22,529 --> 00:08:20,650 have some cosmic origin applications and 177 00:08:24,810 --> 00:08:22,539 it really comes down to a difference I 178 00:08:27,170 --> 00:08:24,820 think in the quantity of what we'll be 179 00:08:29,310 --> 00:08:27,180 able to measure so with a four meter 180 00:08:32,519 --> 00:08:29,320 telescope we'll hope to be able to 181 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:32,529 detect something like six earth 182 00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:35,050 candidates when we increase the 183 00:08:40,589 --> 00:08:37,360 telescope size to eight meters the 184 00:08:42,570 --> 00:08:40,599 number goes up to about 25 and as we go 185 00:08:45,090 --> 00:08:42,580 up to a 16 meter telescope 186 00:08:47,970 --> 00:08:45,100 we're talking about being able to detect 187 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:47,980 with a coronagraph chronographic imaging 188 00:08:53,970 --> 00:08:51,610 something like 100 earth candidates we 189 00:08:56,550 --> 00:08:53,980 think that isn't important because it's 190 00:08:59,220 --> 00:08:56,560 likely that not every one of these earth 191 00:09:02,040 --> 00:08:59,230 candidates will have spectral signatures 192 00:09:04,710 --> 00:09:02,050 bio signatures so if the frequency of 193 00:09:07,410 --> 00:09:04,720 habitable worlds is something like 10 194 00:09:10,590 --> 00:09:07,420 % then we'd like to have something like 195 00:09:13,530 --> 00:09:10,600 30 candidates right to be able to 196 00:09:18,269 --> 00:09:13,540 guarantee seeing one earth analog 197 00:09:20,429 --> 00:09:18,279 signature at with high confidence I 198 00:09:22,590 --> 00:09:20,439 think the most amazing thing is I 199 00:09:25,550 --> 00:09:22,600 remember in the early days of before 200 00:09:28,740 --> 00:09:25,560 Kepler was launched right and Kepler was 201 00:09:30,090 --> 00:09:28,750 going to measure a de sub earth and that 202 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:30,100 was the most important thing and that 203 00:09:34,530 --> 00:09:32,050 was the that was the science goal that 204 00:09:37,230 --> 00:09:34,540 we were all focused on and what none of 205 00:09:38,999 --> 00:09:37,240 us really imagined or thought about was 206 00:09:42,269 --> 00:09:39,009 what Kepler would really discover this 207 00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:42,279 incredible zoo of exoplanets what a 208 00:09:45,780 --> 00:09:44,110 mission like would we have not funded 209 00:09:47,340 --> 00:09:45,790 Kepler if we would have known that a 210 00:09:49,170 --> 00:09:47,350 disturber was going to be this hard 211 00:09:52,319 --> 00:09:49,180 right and throwing away all of this 212 00:09:54,509 --> 00:09:52,329 incredible science so I think that's the 213 00:09:56,999 --> 00:09:54,519 kind of thing that we can expect from a 214 00:09:59,429 --> 00:09:57,009 large telescope that can collect spectra 215 00:10:02,220 --> 00:09:59,439 of exoplanet atmospheres we're going to 216 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:02,230 learn so much about what these planets 217 00:10:07,980 --> 00:10:04,689 are like so there are some real 218 00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:07,990 observational challenges first of all to 219 00:10:13,079 --> 00:10:11,110 find faint planets sitting next to 220 00:10:15,540 --> 00:10:13,089 bright stars you have to use a 221 00:10:17,420 --> 00:10:15,550 coronagraph so the solution that we 222 00:10:20,429 --> 00:10:17,430 envision is an optical and near-infrared 223 00:10:22,259 --> 00:10:20,439 coronagraph with contrast ratios of 10 224 00:10:25,139 --> 00:10:22,269 to the minus 10 that allows you to 225 00:10:27,780 --> 00:10:25,149 actually begin to see an EXO 226 00:10:30,749 --> 00:10:27,790 we would have multi resolution 227 00:10:34,829 --> 00:10:30,759 spectroscopy so in a band pass over 228 00:10:36,540 --> 00:10:34,839 point 2 2 2 and 2.4 microns and this is 229 00:10:39,090 --> 00:10:36,550 technology development that's happening 230 00:10:41,879 --> 00:10:39,100 right now with w first for the w first 231 00:10:44,249 --> 00:10:41,889 coronagraph so a lawar mission is going 232 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:44,259 to be able to draw on the experiences of 233 00:10:49,590 --> 00:10:45,970 the space missions that are being built 234 00:10:52,049 --> 00:10:49,600 right now another problem is the 235 00:10:54,540 --> 00:10:52,059 ultraviolet ultraviolet is so incredibly 236 00:10:56,759 --> 00:10:54,550 useful for understanding the atmosphere 237 00:10:58,319 --> 00:10:56,769 and the conditions of habitability we 238 00:11:00,990 --> 00:10:58,329 can't see the ultraviolet through the 239 00:11:03,059 --> 00:11:01,000 Earth's atmosphere so our plan is an 240 00:11:05,340 --> 00:11:03,069 instrument which we're called calling 241 00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:05,350 Loomis this is in the instrument design 242 00:11:10,590 --> 00:11:07,839 lab right now at Goddard Space Flight 243 00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:10,600 Center where we're trying to sort of go 244 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:12,910 through the exercise of planning what 245 00:11:16,829 --> 00:11:15,370 this instrument would look like so in 246 00:11:18,170 --> 00:11:16,839 part so we can figure out the technical 247 00:11:21,829 --> 00:11:18,180 challenges and in Part 2 248 00:11:24,380 --> 00:11:21,839 we can cost develop a cost model for the 249 00:11:28,010 --> 00:11:24,390 instrument so this would the Lumos would 250 00:11:31,030 --> 00:11:28,020 do far UV to near UV spectroscopy the 251 00:11:35,090 --> 00:11:31,040 pi/4 this instrument is Kevin France 252 00:11:37,310 --> 00:11:35,100 would do near UV imaging and in essence 253 00:11:39,079 --> 00:11:37,320 it would be a major upgrade of stiffs on 254 00:11:41,810 --> 00:11:39,089 the Hubble Space Telescope for any of 255 00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:41,820 you who use that instrument another 256 00:11:47,329 --> 00:11:44,640 challenge is imaging very wide field at 257 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:47,339 high resolution and so the solution to 258 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:50,250 that is the high-definition imager Mark 259 00:11:56,090 --> 00:11:52,410 postman at Space Telescope is leading 260 00:11:58,519 --> 00:11:56,100 this instrument as a sort of pie the 261 00:12:01,040 --> 00:11:58,529 idea is to have a 2 by 3 arc minute 262 00:12:04,990 --> 00:12:01,050 field of view again it's an optical to 263 00:12:07,970 --> 00:12:05,000 infrared a bandpass and do incredible 264 00:12:10,670 --> 00:12:07,980 high-precision Strama tree so mike Chou 265 00:12:14,630 --> 00:12:10,680 has come up with an idea of using a 266 00:12:17,810 --> 00:12:14,640 couple of single mode fiber fed lasers 267 00:12:21,199 --> 00:12:17,820 to calibrate at the level of 10 to the 268 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:21,209 minus fourth the pixel positions and to 269 00:12:27,410 --> 00:12:24,650 actually measure exoplanet masses 270 00:12:30,140 --> 00:12:27,420 another challenge is actually measuring 271 00:12:32,350 --> 00:12:30,150 the molecules so that here we envision 272 00:12:34,460 --> 00:12:32,360 an optical near infrared spectrograph 273 00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:34,470 Courteney dressing is going to be 274 00:12:39,860 --> 00:12:37,529 leading this study will have multiple 275 00:12:42,890 --> 00:12:39,870 resolutions nominally about a hundred 276 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:42,900 thousand and this will allow us to have 277 00:12:48,350 --> 00:12:45,330 very high photometric precision for 278 00:12:49,790 --> 00:12:48,360 transit observations we're not sure 279 00:12:51,550 --> 00:12:49,800 we're about one of the other things we 280 00:12:54,230 --> 00:12:51,560 might do is is have the ability to 281 00:12:55,970 --> 00:12:54,240 measure high-precision radial velocities 282 00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:55,980 so that we can get masses of the 283 00:13:00,470 --> 00:12:58,410 exoplanets and coupled with the 284 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:00,480 spectroscopic measurements we'll be able 285 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:04,650 to interpret the data more reliably one 286 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:07,170 of our European partners in France is 287 00:13:13,460 --> 00:13:11,010 building Pollock's a which is a UV 288 00:13:16,370 --> 00:13:13,470 spectra pool limiter polarimeter and it 289 00:13:18,410 --> 00:13:16,380 will work with the Lumos instrument and 290 00:13:20,660 --> 00:13:18,420 so and this is an example of a 291 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:20,670 partnership with the international 292 00:13:25,670 --> 00:13:22,770 community all of you are encouraged to 293 00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:25,680 go to the Louvre our simulation page 294 00:13:29,690 --> 00:13:27,570 where you can see four different 295 00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:29,700 exposure times and different choices of 296 00:13:34,299 --> 00:13:31,920 aperture exactly what kind of 297 00:13:37,069 --> 00:13:34,309 you could get out of this these missions 298 00:13:40,129 --> 00:13:37,079 we're also encouraging you to come and 299 00:13:42,319 --> 00:13:40,139 give us some feedback right now there's 300 00:13:45,109 --> 00:13:42,329 a tech team that's examining the 301 00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:45,119 technological challenges to move our I'm 302 00:13:49,249 --> 00:13:47,670 one of them the deployment of levar will 303 00:13:54,829 --> 00:13:49,259 be tested by the James Webb Space 304 00:13:56,539 --> 00:13:54,839 Telescope there are other technical 305 00:13:57,999 --> 00:13:56,549 challenges first of all how do you we're 306 00:14:01,099 --> 00:13:58,009 going to need a heavy launch vehicle 307 00:14:03,650 --> 00:14:01,109 lift vehicle right with a large fairing 308 00:14:06,799 --> 00:14:03,660 to be able to get the segment's for a 16 309 00:14:09,829 --> 00:14:06,809 meter telescope into space we're working 310 00:14:11,900 --> 00:14:09,839 on compatibility of ultraviolet and UV 311 00:14:15,109 --> 00:14:11,910 the UV with choreography and high 312 00:14:16,999 --> 00:14:15,119 contrast observations and choreography 313 00:14:20,239 --> 00:14:17,009 with as segmented telescope 314 00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:20,249 these look like solvable solutions this 315 00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:22,169 is again one I'll go quickly through 316 00:14:26,119 --> 00:14:24,540 these slides one of just four mission 317 00:14:30,229 --> 00:14:26,129 concept studies that are being done 318 00:14:32,059 --> 00:14:30,239 right now there are two lawar mission 319 00:14:34,729 --> 00:14:32,069 architectures were studying we're 320 00:14:37,249 --> 00:14:34,739 imagining an aperture size of 15 meters 321 00:14:39,199 --> 00:14:37,259 on one of nine meters and these are set 322 00:14:40,609 --> 00:14:39,209 because they stopped because of the 323 00:14:43,729 --> 00:14:40,619 fairings that are available right now 324 00:14:47,090 --> 00:14:43,739 for launch vehicles the study office and 325 00:14:51,259 --> 00:14:47,100 engineering team is at Goddard and we've 326 00:14:53,780 --> 00:14:51,269 got a team of people's 24 of stdt 327 00:14:55,669 --> 00:14:53,790 members in the community and working 328 00:14:58,069 --> 00:14:55,679 groups studying all of these questions 329 00:15:02,119 --> 00:14:58,079 along with five instrument teams here 330 00:15:04,159 --> 00:15:02,129 are the pictures of the folks so often 331 00:15:05,389 --> 00:15:04,169 people ask so I'll anticipate some 332 00:15:07,850 --> 00:15:05,399 questions right now what is the 333 00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:07,860 difference between have X and lawar and 334 00:15:12,409 --> 00:15:10,110 we've worked together as a team to try 335 00:15:14,449 --> 00:15:12,419 and come up with an answer that we think 336 00:15:16,850 --> 00:15:14,459 will work that you know that we both 337 00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:16,860 agree upon first of all both of them 338 00:15:20,779 --> 00:15:18,689 have the science school of measuring 339 00:15:22,819 --> 00:15:20,789 habitable planets and bio signatures and 340 00:15:26,509 --> 00:15:22,829 both of them have the goal of doing 341 00:15:28,759 --> 00:15:26,519 broad astrophysics it's really more a 342 00:15:30,679 --> 00:15:28,769 matter of quantity how much you'll be 343 00:15:33,710 --> 00:15:30,689 able to do with the smaller telescope 344 00:15:35,869 --> 00:15:33,720 and the larger telescope so similar 345 00:15:38,799 --> 00:15:35,879 goals but different sort of quantitative 346 00:15:42,109 --> 00:15:38,809 levels of ambition for these two studies 347 00:15:43,999 --> 00:15:42,119 and then finally anticipating a question 348 00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:44,009 how much is it going to cost and the 349 00:15:46,699 --> 00:15:45,360 answer is we don't know 350 00:15:49,190 --> 00:15:46,709 that's why we're doing this study right 351 00:15:53,150 --> 00:15:49,200 now to try and get a sense of what this 352 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:53,160 will cost so as John said it's not 353 00:15:57,550 --> 00:15:55,170 straightforward to estimate to our to 354 00:16:00,319 --> 00:15:57,560 extrapolate a cost for a large mission 355 00:16:02,090 --> 00:16:00,329 and then I'll put our summary slide up 356 00:16:04,670 --> 00:16:02,100 here that our primary goals are 357 00:16:07,370 --> 00:16:04,680 habitable exoplanets and bio signatures 358 00:16:10,030 --> 00:16:07,380 but also a large range of fundamental
