8 Independent Cost Estimate Performed by Aerospace Corp CATE = Cost And Technical Evaluation Input was Interim Design Reference Mission Aerospace cost estimate is within 7% of $1.6B cost estimate from the Decadal Survey "Project has presented a feasible technical design consistent with stated science goals" 8
9 Requirements Flowdown Substantiation that WFIRST can achieve NWNH science Traces science requirements from top level objectives 9
10 Workshare Assignments WFIRST Project resides in Exoplanet Exploration Program (ExEP) at JPL and is managed by GSFC WFIRST Project work is joint effort between GSFC and JPL GSFC responsibilities - Project management - System engineering - Instrument & spacecraft management JPL responsibilities - Telescope design & implementation - Participate in system engineering - Data center (IPAC) HQ program oversight - Program Executive: Lia LaPiana - Program Scientist: Rita Sambruna 10
11 H2RG detectors Detector Program - H >> HAWAII = HgCdTe Astron. Wide Area IR Imager - 2 >> 2048 x 2048 pixels - R >> reference rows & columns to correct bias fluctuations - G >> guiding function, selectable window for guide star Space H1Rs used on HST. Space H2RGs developed for JWST Goals of WFIRST program - Larger mosaics than JWST - Silicon carbide support structure - H4RG development Sensor Chip Assembly
12 Detector Array EDU Development of 3x6 HgCdTe Engineering Development Unit detector array at GSFC EDU Focal Plane Array Silicon carbide mounting of HgCdTe detectors is under development and will be space qualified with EDU 12
13 SDT with H4RG Array 3 Feb
14 HgCdTe Performance Studies Potential issues with HgCdTe capabilities for WL shapes - Interpixel capacitance (IPC) - Persistance - Linearity & reciprocity Laboratory test program in place to assess issues (JPL, Caltech, Goddard, Teledyne, STScI, U Hawaii) Preliminary results are encouraging Riess HST WFC3 Linearity Study Change in Moment induced by IPC Marchant et al. IPC Study Moment of unmodified images 14
15 Simulations Pixel scale study for WL at JP/Caltech (Rhodes, Hirata, Rowe) - Shapelet simulations, image combination software, dithering study - Results show that 0.18 "/pixel of WFIRST Imager is adequate for WL - WL image simulation software will be available to community via IPAC pixel configuration residuals Rowe, Hirata & Rhodes 2011 Sky tiling sims for BAO & SNe at GSFC (Kruk) Microlensing sims at Notre Dame/OSU (Bennett, Rhie, Gaudi) 15
16 WFIRST Notional Schedule Mission formulation Technology work NRC mid-decade rev. Phase A Phase B Phase C/D Launch 82 months
17 Science Outreach Science calculators and estimators being deployed to the community through IPAC WFIRST booth developed and displayed at conferences Need for a brochure IPAC Conference WFIRST "Meeting-In-A-Meeting" June AAS in Anchorage 17
