Evaluation of the Implementation of WFIRST in the Context of New
Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics assesses whether
the proposed Astrophysics Focused Telescope Assets (AFTA) design
reference mission described in the April 30, 2013 report of the
AFTA Science Definition Team (SDT), WFIRST-2.4, is responsive to
the overall strategy to pursue the science objectives of New
Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics, and in
particular, the survey's top ranked, large-scale, space-based
priority: the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST). This
report considers the versions of WFIRST-2.4 with and without the
coronagraph, as described in the AFTA SDT report. The report
compares the WFIRST mission described in New Worlds, New Horizons
to the AFTA SDT WFIRST-2.4 design reference mission, with and
without the coronagraph, on the basis of their science objectives,
technical complexity, and programmatic rationale, including
projected cost. This report gives an overview of relevant
scientific, technical, and programmatic changes that have occurred
since the release of New Worlds, New Horizons, and assesses the
responsiveness of the WFIRST mission to the science and technology
objectives of the New Worlds report. Table of Contents Front Matter
