MICROWAVE KINETIC INDUCTANCE DETECTORS OR MKIDS ARE A UVOIR PHOTON COUNTING ENERGY RESOLVING DETECTOR TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED ALMOST WHOLLY UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE NASA ROSES PROGRAM. RECENT ADVANCES INCLUDE VERY UNIFORM ARRAYS WITH 20 000 PIXELS - THE LARGEST SUPERCONDUCTING ARRAYS IN THE WORLD. DESPITE RECENT GAINS IN QUANTUM EFFICIENCY AND YIELD THE SPECTRAL RESOLUTION OF R=E/ DE~10 AT 1000 NM REMAINS STUBBORNLY FAR FROM THE THEORETICAL LIMIT OF R>60 AT 1000 NM. IN THIS PROPOSAL WE WILL FOCUS IN ON ENERGY RESOLUTION DEPLOYING THE LATEST TECHNIQUES AND MATERIALS DEVELOPED FOR SUPERCONDUCTING QUANTUM QUBITS TO LOWER TWO LEVEL SYSTEM (TLS) NOISE AND USE NEW TRAVELING WAVE PARAMETRIC AMPLIFIERS TO LOWER AMPLIFIER NOISE. THE COMBINATION OF THESE TWO TECHNIQUES WILL ALLOW US TO INCREASE SPECTRAL RESOLUTION TOWARDS THE THEORETICAL LIMIT VASTLY IMPROVING THE POTENTIAL SCIENTIFIC RETURN OF FUTURE SPACEBASED MKID MISSIONS.
