The Search for Terrestrial Planets : What Do we Need to Know ?

چکیده
The goal of finding and characterizing habitable planets in other solar systems represents one of humanity’s greatest scientific challenges.

This talk describes different concepts for NASA’s Terrestrial Planet Finder and discusses potential precursors in a program that balances scientific return, technological advance, and programmatic risk.
