Cosmic Origins Program Analysis Group (COPAG)
Science Interest Groups (SIGs) and Science Analysis Groups (SAGs)
Currently, the COPAG has three Science Interest Groups and one Science & Technology Interest Group:
Previous Science Interest Groups and Technology Interest Groups:
The COPAG uses Science Analysis Groups (SAGs) for topical consideration of COR-relevant science and technology issues. Membership of the SAGs is freely open to any interested parties. Each SAG and SIG coordinates with the EC through a member selected from the Executive Committee.
- SAG #1: Science objectives for a 4m–8m UV/Optical mission, coordinated by Ken Sembach. (Closed)
- SAG #2: Technologies for a 4m-class monolithic telescope UV/Optical mission w/internal coronograph, coordinated by Chuck Lillie. (Closed)
- SAG #3: Technologies for an 8m-class segmented telescope UV/Optical mission w/external occulter, coordinated by Jon Gardner. (Closed)
- SAG #4: Technologies for a future far-IR mission, coordinated by Paul Goldsmith and Dave Leisawitz (Approved as Science Interest Group Nov 2013). (Closed)
- SAG #5: Science objectives & technology requirements for a series of Cosmic Origins Probes, coordinated by Chris Martin. (Closed)
- SAG #6: Cosmic Origins Science Enabled by the WFIRST-AFTA Coronograph, coordinated by Dennis Ebbetts (Closed)
- SAG #7: Science Enabled by Operations Overlap of HST and JWST, coordinated by James Green. (Closed)
- SAG #8: Science Enabled by the WFIRST – AFTA Data Archive, coordinated by Sally Heap (Approved November 2013). (Closed)
