The Origins Space Telescope (Origins) is one of four flagship mission concepts, under review by the 2020 Decadal Survey, that may take the mantle of the next-generation space-based observatory. In conjunction with this research, a secondary trade space study was performed on behalf of the Origins Exoplanets Working Group. The primary purpose of this collaboration was to provide a scientific basis to the technical specifications for the mid-infrared detectors onboard the Mid-Infrared Spectrometer Camera Transit Spectrometer (MISC-T) instrument. The results of this work directly contributed to the alteration of the official technical specifications of the instrument design concept.
