The SHERA Mission
1 : Jet Propulsion Laboratory
The SHERA (Search for Habitable Exoplanets using Relative Astrometry) concept, a possible small explorer mission, aims to achieve microarcsecond-level relative astrometry on binary star systems using a diffractive pupil telescope, drawing inspiration from the TOLIMAN concept. In this presentation, I will outline our ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of technology and replicate these precise measurements in laboratory conditions.
