Abstract
The 2020 Astrophysics decadal study’s choice for NASA’s next flagship mission to be developed is the Habitable Worlds Observer (HWO). HWO will have at its heart, a coronagraph, whose accommodation requires exceptional stability. Mechanical disturbances from micrometeoroid impact are one of the environmental effects that has been shown to degrade the performance of a coronagraphic telescope unacceptably. This paper introduces the problem of micrometeoroid induced disturbances on HWO and the mitigation options available. The paper will conclude with a discussion the development of for a potential shield.
