The Coronagraph Community Participation Program

The Coronagraph Community Participation Program (CPP) is planning and execute Coronagraph Instrument technology demonstration observations. The CPP is composed of multiple, competitively selected small, US-based teams, members of the Roman Project Team, and international partner teams from ESA, JAXA, CNES, and the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy. The primary goals of the CPP are to prepare simulation tools, target databases, and data reduction software for the execution of the Coronagraph Instrument technology demonstration.
