Tetarenko (East Asian Observatory), Daryl Haggard (McGill University) Type of Activity: Ground Based Project Space Based Project Technological Development Activity Description: We plan to submit a paper arguing for the importance of having the capability of making optical and infrared variability measurements at millisecond timescales, primarily aimed at better understanding of the physics of compact objects. This capability has long been widely available for radio astronomy, and for X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy. Historically, it was available in the optical during the era when photomultipliers were the detector of choice for photometry, but with the advent of the CCD, it has become available only in niche instrumentation. In recent years, modern, high quantum- efficiency devices have been developed that detect optical photons with millisecond or better time resolution. Some of these systems also have direct energy resolution, while in other cases, systems have been set up to use dichroics to allow observations in several filters at once. Most often, though, observatories have not considered the value of high time resolution observations in planning their facilities. As a result, the capability to make these measurements is often limited by the analog to digital conversion, or, in the cases of many satellite missions, by the accuracy of the on-board clock. The lack of optical and infrared timing capabilities on publicly available facilities is particular noticeable in the United States. We plan to illustrate briefly a few examples of cutting edge science that has been done with existing facilities, and to discuss in broad terms the type of instrumentation and policy changes that could lead to a more widespread capability of doing optical and infrared timing. Web link: Name: William (Bill) Doggett Proposing Team: Type of Activity: Ground Based Project Space Based Project Technological Development Activity Description: This Notice of Intent (NOI) to provide a paper that reviews the significant capability that has been developed through decades of in-space assembly research at NASA Langley Research Center. The work began in the late 80's and continues today, validating the feasibility of assembling predictable systems on-orbit. The paper will review early erectable structures development and associated flight experiments, discuss assembly development targeting Space Station Freedom (the precursor to the International Space Station), describe robotic and EVA laboratory assembly experiments, and conclude with a description of more recent modular assembly approaches. The capabilities described are cross cutting to astrophysics telescopes of varying sizes achieved through single or multiple launches. Certainly, in-space assembly allows the creation of large scientific observatories. However, there are many other benefits of in-space assembly that will be highlighted. One of the most important is that in- space assembly provides funding and programmatic versatility. If an instrument is lagging, it does not directly impact the mission launch. Launch what is available, and expand the capability over time. I.e., achieve scientific observations early and often to begin learning, then expand and enhance the capability as science directs and funding enables.

This would implement the top recommendation in the NAS Exoplanet Science Strategy Report: "NASA should lead a large strategic direct imaging mission capable of measuring the reflected-light spectra of temperate terrestrial planets orbiting Sun-like stars." The starshade would carry a laser beacon to enable adaptive optics at
