Project Blue will demonstrate and test coronagraph and wavefront technologies similar to ones that could be used on much
larger future space telescopes currently being studied by NASA (e.g., HabEX, LUVOIR), and thus help to retire technical risks and hone the observing techniques and data processing algorithms for those missions.
