The goal of the IWG is to support the STDT in defining the science instruments required for a compelling and executable mission. The IWG will help the STDT translate science goals into technical instrument requirements, provide the STDT information and metrics needed to make scientific tradeoff decisions, and support the STDT in assessing technology readiness and preparing technology development plans and roadmaps.
