• Search for extra-solar planets in the “habitable zone”• Reveal the spectral signatures for detection of life
supporting atmospheres
Science Objectives
• Detector Range of 250nm 1.0 m

Functional Challenges
• At visible wavelengths planets are seen by reflected star light
• I-sun/I-planet ~ 1010
• Proximity – at 10 parsecs earth would be only 10 mas from the sun (1parsec=3.26 light years)

Petal Characterization
• Petal optimized to create a diffraction pattern that produces a high contrast suppression of the on-axis starlight
• Petal operates in the Fresnel (near-field) diffraction regime

Design Challenges
• Full scale testing cannot be performed• Occulter in-plane edge local deformations may be
restricted to ~10μm mean displacement• 40m shade plus telescope must be transported,
deployed, stationed, and repositioned for observational scenarios
• Variable solar heat loads result in subtle thermal deformations
• Formation flying to maintain a distance between the occulter and telescope around 104km a few meters

What Cielo Does:• High performance, high accuracy solution to the STOP
(structural/thermal/optical) modeling problem• Approach based on:
– Single, common, model with thermal, structural, and optical “attributes”– MATLAB-hosted client for external routine integration, “in the loop” optical
analysis– Parallel remote server for cpu-intensive tasks (e.g., radiation heat transfer
solutions)
• Benefits:– Accuracy– No results mapping– Greatly accelerated throughput– Enables rapid variational studies, data mining, etc.

Other Current, Planned Studies:
•Varying sun illumination angles
•Steady-state thermal/structural/optical analyses throughout the range of expected angles
•Starshade angular velocities
•Investigate effects on thermal transient “equilibrium”, anomaly detection, etc.
•Detailed postprocessing studies
•Average batten temperatures
•Thermal “time constants”
•Continued correlation with COTS tools, generate performance metrics
