Earth-Like Exoplanets: The Science of NASA's Navigator Program.
(30/05/2013)
This book outlines the exoplanet science content of NASA's Navigator Program, and it identifies the exoplanet research priorities. The goal of Navigator Program missions is to detect and characterize Earth-like planets in the habitable zone of nearby stars and to search for signs of life on those planets. The Navigator Program includes the ground-based Keck Interferometer and the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer, designed to measure the inner and outer dust disks of nearby stars. The Navigator Program also includes three space-based missions: Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) PlanetQuest, Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph (TPF-C), and Terrestrial Planet Finder Interferometer (TPF-I). The scientific...

This book outlines the exoplanet science content of NASA's Navigator Program, and it identifies the exoplanet research priorities. The goal of Navigator Program missions is to detect and characterize Earth-like planets in the habitable zone of nearby stars and to search for signs of life on those planets. The Navigator Program includes the ground-based Keck Interferometer and the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer, designed to measure the inner and outer dust disks of nearby stars. The Navigator Program also includes three space-based missions: Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) PlanetQuest, Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph (TPF-C), and Terrestrial Planet Finder Interferometer (TPF-I). The scientific goals of these missions are complementary: SIM will determine the orbits and masses of nearby planets, down to about one Earth-mass; TPF-C and TPF-I will detect Earth-like planets in the habitable zone of nearby stars and will measure the colors and spectra of these planets, in the visible and infrared respectively, to characterize them and look for signs of life. Each mission measures unique properties of exoplanets. Together the missions build a synergistic picture of exoplanets.
