Advances in Starshade Technology Readiness for an Exoplanet Characterizing Science Mission in the 2020's

The discovery of thousands of exoplanets is generating increasing interest in the direct imaging and characterization of these planets. Starshade, and eternal occulter, could fly in formation between a telescope and distant star, blocking out the light from the star, and enabling us to focus on the light of any orbiting planets. Recent technology developments in coordination with system design, has added much needed detail to define the technology requirements for a science mission that could launch in the 2020's. This paper address the mechanical architecture, the successful efforts to date, the current state of design for the mechanical system, and upcoming technology efforts.
