To the extent it makes sense, leverage JWST (James Webb Space Telescope) knowledge, designs, architectures. GSE (Ground Support Equipment) good starting point. Develop a full end-to-end architecture that closes. Try to avoid recreating the wheel except where needed. Optimize from there (mainly for stability and coronagraphy). Develop a scalable design reference mission (9.2 meters). Do just enough work to understand launch break points in aperture size Demonstrate 10 pm (phase modulation) stability is achievable on a design reference mission. A really key design driver is the most robust stability possible!!! Make design compatible with starshades. While segmented coronagraphs with high throughput and large bandpasses are important, make the system serviceable so you can evolve the instruments. Keep it room temperature to minimize the costs associated with cryo. Focus resources on the contrast problem. Start with the architecture and connect it to the technology needs.
