Not only would one of two donated U.S. National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) telescopes suit the mission of NASA's proposed(WFIRST) it would boost the mission's capabilities without much exceeding its expected $1.63 billion budget, according to a study released on May 23.
The results of the study, known as WFIRST-AFTA (Astrophysics Focused Telescope Assets), were presented here today (June 4) at the 222nd meeting of the American Astronomical Society. []
"For approximately the same cost the use of these telescope assets would enable a WFIRST mission that has significantly improved scientific capabilities," Paul Hertz, the director of the astrophysics division of NASA's science mission directorate, said during the conference.
"In addition, the use of these telescope assets would enable us to add an exoplanet-imaging instrument to a WFIRST mission that would be able to image and characterize planets around nearby stars," Hertz added.
