Description
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a NASA Small Explorer class space-based mission scheduled to launch in 2027. COSI will function as a wide field imager, spectrometer, and polarimeter, and it will be sensitive to photons between 0.2 - 5 MeV. The four primary science goals of COSI are 1) uncover the origin of Galactic positrons, 2) reveal Galactic element formation, 3) gain insight into extreme environment with polarization, and 4) probe the physics of multimessenger events. In this presentation, we will provide an update on the COSI mission, present an overview of the development status of its hardware and calibration, and report on the latest updates in software development.
