The New Worlds Observer: the astrophysics strategic mission concept study
2009
We present the results of the Astrophysics Strategic Mission Concept Study for the New Worlds Observer (NWO). We show that the
use of starshades is the most effective and affordable path to mapping and understanding our neighboring planetary systems, to opening
the search for life outside our solar system, while serving the needs of the greater astronomy community. A starshade-based mission
can be implemented immediately with a near term program of technology demonstration.
