The ISCEA observatory is a small satellite with a mass of under 150kg. SwRI’s ISCEA near-infrared (NIR) spectrograph instrument (ISpec) with parallel imaging and multi-object spectroscopy channels is designed to meet the ISCEA observatory science goal: to determine the history of star formation and its quenching in galaxies as a function of local density and stellar mass when the Universe was 3-5 Gyrs old (1.2<z<2.1). To achieve this, the ISpec instrument requirements are wavelength range 1.1 to 2-micron; a spectral resolving power of < 1000; <300 simultaneous object spectral acquisition; 2.8”× 2.8” “slit” size; emission line flux limit (5-sigma) of 3×10-17 erg/s/cm2; field of view of <= 0.27 deg2; and throughput <= 0.2.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (formerly WFIRST) will be launched in the mid-2020s with an onboard Coronagraph Instrument which will serve as a technology demonstrator for exoplanet direct imaging. The Roman Coronagraph will be capable of detecting and characterizing exoplanets and circumstellar disks in visible light at an unprecedented contrast level of ~10-8 or better at small separations. Such a contrast level, which is 2 to 3 orders of magnitude better than state-of-the-art visible or near-infrared coronagraphs, raises entirely new challenges that will be overcome using a combination of hardware, calibration and data processing. In particular, the Roman Coronagraph will be the first space-based coronagraphic instrument with active low- and high-order wavefront control through the use of largeformat (48x48) deformable mirrors, and its electron-multiplying Charge Coupled Device (EMCCD) detector will enable faint signal detection in photon-counting mode. The Roman Coronagraph successfully passed its critical design review in April 2021 and its system integration review in June 2022. It is now well on its path to demonstrate many core technologies at the levels required for a future exo-Earth direct imaging mission.
