Orbiting Artificial Star for High-Resolution Coronal Imaging from the Ground

This paper establishes the scientific motivation of the Orbiting Artificial Star for High-resolution Coronal Imaging from the Ground (ORCAS-Helio), and presents the Preliminary Science Traceability Matrix (STM), defining the scientific objectives, the expected significance, and the impact of the mission. Furthermore, the paper describes the payload, mission configuration, and spacecraft architecture and shows it could meet its scientific and engineering requirements. By doing so, a viable mission configuration for the ORCAS-Helio mission is established.

QUASAR - QUAsi-Stationary Absolute Radiance Mission

This paper describes the scientific and developmental aspects behind the QUAsi-Stationary Absolute Radiance (QUASAR) mission study. The scientific motivation on which the mission is built is established, including the absolute flux calibration of standard and exoplanet host stars, supernova cosmology, and interferometry. Furthermore, we present a science traceability matrix that determines the requirements for the mission through the scientific objectives. Additionally, we provide the mission configuration. This includes the spacecraft structure, its payload, and the component architecture. Finally, we describe how components within the payload provide efficiency and redundancy within the mission.
