WFIRST-AFTA Presentation to the NRC Mid-Decadal PanelOver the past two years, increased funding has enabled significant progress in technology matura1on as well as addi1onal fidelity in the design reference mission. WFIRST with the 2.4-­‐m telescope and coronagraph provides an exci1ng science program, superior to that recommended by NWNH and also advances exoplanet imaging technology (the highest ranked medium-­‐class NWNH recommenda1on). Great opportunity for astronomy and astrophysics discoveries. Broad community support for WFIRST. Key development areas are anchored in a decade of investments in JPL's HCIT and GSFC's DCL. Great progress made in pre-­‐formula1on, ready for KDP-­‐A and launch in mid-­‐2020s.
