Please join HWO Chief Technologist, Matt Bolcar and HWO Deputy Chief Technologist, Feng Zhao, who will describe the HWO technology roadmap, and ways that the astrophysics technology community can get involved in achieving the goals of the roadmap. HWO is the concept for NASA’s next flagship space observatory, to be designed around the capability to discover and characterize potentially habitable plants orbiting other stars. This ambitious mission science goals requires new technology - particularly in the areas of coronagraphy, ultra-stable telescopes, and ultra-violet instrumentation.

The event will consist of 45 minutes of talks followed by 45 minutes of Q&A/Discussion, where attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback on the roadmap.

The event will be recorded along with the Q&A and posted here after the event.
