• Get a draft going on overleaf or equivalent

• Detectors are critically important
• TLSE is critically important
• Need to characterize the detector because pointing is so bad
• Si Grisms are a great idea
• IR is tricky due to cooling -> stick to where you don't need to cool, but:
• Cooling could be an interesting tech demo if science demands longer wavelength
• One great experiment and not more than one or two tech demos
• Consider a "Team X" or "Tiger Team" activity where experts review the idea over a day or two
• Telluric absorption is a good reason for space
• Chances are there will be a call for a bigger mission, maybe next fall or later?

• Eventually we will need full on demo with CAD models, sensor specs, S/N calculation
• For the CIF, keep the goals more realistic-> downscope
• Put more of the science case in the proposal (why cubesat vs. ground)
• Strengthens JWST from stellar characterization standpoint
• Requirements for sensors should be part of the study
• Point spread function self-calibration / monitoring needs to go in the proposal

Layout for proposal

1. Challenges and problems
2. What we want to do
3. We can do this in a cubesat
4. Seed funding is a first step towards that
5. Algorithms development (needs to be fleshed out more), what detectors to use
6. Simulation and model to show it will work will be the deliverable

• Incorporate comments from Evgenya Shkolnik
• Incorporate comments from Joe Lin
• Show to J. Dotson
• Show to K. Vassigh
• Show to R. Hunter
• Make the power point slide

Submit by next Tuesday, July 17!
