NASA’s Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will consist of a segmented telescope and high contrast coronagraph to characterize exoplanets for habitability. Achieving this ambitious science goal requires an ultra-stable optical system with wavefront stability on the order of picometers in certain critical modes. This talk will describe the ongoing process to perform systems engineering, integrated modeling, and maturation of key technologies to achieve this level of performance, with a focus on the ultra-stable telescope.
