00:22:33 Meredith MacGregor: A few instructions for the webinar today: 00:22:39 Meredith MacGregor: 1) Please submit all of your questions via the window on the right side of the Zoom screen. Please submit your questions as they come up, instead of waiting until the end of the talk. During the Q&A period at the end of the talk, the moderator will unmute participants who have posted questions to allow them to ask their question directly to the speaker. 00:22:48 Meredith MacGregor: 2) Please submit any additional feedback/comments/questions for the Leadership Council through the chat window as well. We will answer these questions at the end of the hour, or send an email response afterwards if we run out of time during the webinar. 00:22:55 Meredith MacGregor: 3) Please also report any technical difficulties in the chat window so that we can address them. 00:23:05 Meredith MacGregor: 4) This webinar will be recorded and available to view later on the webinar webpage (https://fir-sig.ipac.caltech.edu/page/seminars). 01:10:23 Jens Kauffmann: How does this add redundancy against errors during assembly. Like a mirror module gets stuck in wrong place. In the end, does one need to do as much pre-testing as with current equipment that unfolds? 01:11:48 Lee Armus: this model forgoes traditional Observatory I&T. Did the team study the cost and timescales of this new paradigm for testing? 01:11:55 Lisa Locke: For the assembly of the telescopes - about how many launches will be necessary for all parts? And where are the parts put while awaiting placement ? 01:12:20 Lee Armus: How would the study results change if we would want to consider a cryogenically cooled large telescope in space, like OST? 01:17:38 nrangwal: In your study, do you have a roadmap? What are the first few things that you would like to see happen or first few tests? 01:17:45 nrangwal: In the past decadal surveys, have studies like this – very forward looking – and something that will be needed in a few decades – submitted? This is an investment that we make now so that the next decadal survey can use it to inform their decisions about next big missions? 01:20:37 Lee Armus: Did the team work out a timescale for the reference telescope assembly, including realistic launches and testing timescales? 01:22:20 Dan Magorian: did you look in beginning at unconnected swarming telescope elements rather than robotic arm asssembled components? Higher risk more unknowns obviously 01:34:38 Dan Magorian: can't seem unmute please read 01:35:17 Dan Magorian: could you read 01:35:45 Dan Magorian: obviously stuck with high TRL 01:36:11 Dan Magorian: Cornell study looking at swarm herding out to L2 01:38:04 Dan Magorian: thanks
