Thanks to great efforts of the test team and others at JSC, they con;nued tes;ng through the hurricane (at somewhat reduced levels). All is back to normal and the hardware remains safe. Sunshield fully integrated. The Early Release Science proposal deadline was last month. 106 proposals from 38 countries 3700 hours proposed 500 will be awarded (7.4:1)

13 Observing the Solar System with WFIRST Stefanie Milam (NASA/GSFC) Gerbs Bauer (UMD) Bryan Holler (STScI) On behalf of the SSWG

14 Solar System Community Input Solar System Working Group established 8 topic groups from the community: KBOs/TNOs/Centaurs/Binaries, Satellites, Giant Planets, Asteroids/ NEOs/PHAs, Comets, Occulta;ons, and Titan 13 Science cases have been provided across these topics including new targeted (GO) observa;ons as well as data mining of proposed surveys from the community. Moving target track rates have been evaluated for pointed observa;ons fastest targets are Near Earth Asteroids and Comets. Assump;ons: WFIRST FOR, JWST loca;on, all targets in HORIZONS. Ø Track Rate at 30 mas/s is a reasonable rate for WFIRST science. Solar system science benefits from a K-band filter (>2 micron) for nearly all targets, and spectral coverage beyond 2 (out to ~2.4) microns.

Giant Planets Observe storms and 4me-variable clouds on Jupiter and Saturn. These planets serve as analogs for the largest size class of exoplanets.

WFIRST observa;ons will provide informa;on on the meteorology of Saturn ater Cassini and Hubble and in prepara;on for a Saturn probe mission.

15 Giant Planets Observe storms and 4me-variable clouds on Jupiter and Saturn. These planets serve as analogs for the largest size class of exoplanets. We need be_er knowledge of what triggers these storms, the ver;cal cloud structure, and ;me variability on these planets requires a long ;me base. WFIRST observa;ons will provide informa;on on the meteorology of Saturn ater Cassini and Hubble and in prepara;on for a Saturn probe mission. Prepara&on for a flagship mission to Uranus or Neptune in the 2030 s we need be<er knowledge of meteorology, cloud structure, and overall storm ac&vity on these planets over a long &me base. WFIRST imaging will provide conhnuity with exishng Hubble imaging in the ophcal and near-infrared aser Hubble is no longer operahonal. These planets also serve as a prototype for a common class of exoplanets.

16 Planetary Satellites Study the origins and con4nued evolu4on of the satellites of the giant planets with the WFIRST integral field unit (IFU). The rela;vely new surface of Europa and Io and the dynamic atmosphere of Titan present opportuni;es to observe short- scale temporal changes with ;me domain programs. The smaller satellites record billions of years of Solar System history in their radia;on-processed surfaces. We aim to be<er understand the forma&on and evolu&on of the Solar System through discovery and study of the orbits and physical characteris&cs of the irregular satellites of the giant planets. These satellites are in orbits that suggest they were captured from other populahons early in Solar System history. WFIRST will allow for satellite detechon down to ~0.3, 1.2, 4.6, and 11.6 km in diameter around Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, respechvely, compared to ~1, 0.3, 18, and 20 km in diameter known.

17 Summary Enabling Solar System science (Moving Target tracking) for the WFIRST Guest Observing Program is essen;al to ensure this is an all-purpose observatory. White Paper on ArXiv this week! Nearly every astrophysics space observatory (e.g. Hubble, Spitzer, Chandra, and JWST) has benefited from Solar System observa;ons for public outreach, science, and new discoveries! Community Support for Solar System Science is needed to ensure capabili;es. h_p:// The Solar System community has focused missions to specific targets, thereby providing ground-truth to interpret the larger sta;s;cal samples astrophysical survey facili;es may supply. Townhall at DPS on Thursday at noon! Rovers or orbiters do not measure the full-disk (global) of a planet, satellite, or small body. Observatories have that capability which is highly complementary Stefanie.n.milam@nasa.gov to these missions as well as studies towards other objects.
