This article presents the highlights and overview of the Event Horizon Explorer (EHE) mission concept, discussing its feasibility and outlining scientific goals, key technologies, and engineering challenges. Furthermore, an assessment of their technological readiness and overall suitability for a NASA Medium Explorer (MIDEX) class mission is provided.
The Event Horizon Explorer (EHE) is a mission concept to extend the Event Horizon Telescope via an additional space-based node. We provide highlights and overview of a concept study to explore the feasibility of such a mission. We present science goals and objectives, which include studying the immediate environment around supermassive black holes, and focus on critical enabling technologies and engineering challenges. We provide an assessment of their technological readiness and overall suitability for a NASA Medium Explorer (MIDEX) class mission.
