Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE): Looking Beyond the Stars
Too Long; Didn't Read
An important future goal in exoplanetology is to detect and characterize potentially habitable planets. Concepts for future space missions have already been proposed: from a large UV-Optical-Infrared space mission for studies in reflected light, to the Large Interferometer for Exoplanets (LIFE) for analyzing the thermal portion of the planetary spectrum.
