The Event Horizon Explorer Mission Concept
Abstract
The Event Horizon Explorer (EHE) is a mission concept to extend the Event Horizon Telescope via anadditional space-based node. We provide highlights and overview of a concept study to explore the feasibility ofsuch a mission. We present science goals and objectives, which include studying the immediate environment aroundsupermassive black holes, and focus on critical enabling technologies and engineering challenges. We provide anassessment of their technological readiness and overall suitability for a NASA Medium Explorer (MIDEX) class mission.
