Origins Space Telescope Science Drivers to Design Traceability
Abstract
The Origins Space Telescope (Origins) concept is designed to investigate the creationand dispersal of elements essential to life, the formation of planetary systems, and the transportof water to habitable worlds and the atmospheres of exoplanets around nearby K- and M-dwarfsto identify potentially habitable—and even inhabited—worlds. These science priorities arealigned with NASA’s three major astrophysics science goals: How does the Universe work?How did we get here? and Are we alone? We briefly describe the science case that arose fromthe astronomical community and the science traceability matrix for Origins. The science trace-ability matrix prescribes the design of Origins and demonstrates that it will address the keyscience questions motivated by the science case.
