Abstract

The Astro2020 Decadal Survey recommends an ambitious mission named Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) to explore the universe and search for life on exoplanets. HWO builds upon NASA investments, including the James Webb Space Telescope segmented optical system, Roman Space Telescope coronagraph, large mission concept studies, and technology development. Studies continue to drive our understanding of the HWO mission trade space and increase the readiness of relevant technologies. NASA’s Great Observatory Maturation Program (GOMAP) will explain how mission architecture decisions impact science yields and improve understanding of the boundaries and opportunities within the mission trade spaces.
