Planet Quest: Missions - Terrestrial Planet Finder - The Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) will study all aspects of planets outside our solar system: from their formation and development in disks of dust and gas around newly forming stars to the presence and features of those planets orbiting the nearest stars; from the numbers at various sizes and places to their suitability as an abode for life. Padova Extrasolar planets catalog - Padova Extrasolar planets catalog Planet Quest - A NASA and JPL site in search of another Earth Extrasolar Planet Detection with the AFOE - Extrasolar Planet Detection with the AFOE The Advanced Fiber-Optic Echelle (AFOE) spectrometer is a fiber-fed, bench-mounted echelle spectrograph, located at the 1.5m telescope of the Whipple Observatory, near Tucson, Arizona. Umbral Missions Blocking Radiating Astronomical Sources (project) - The UMBRAS goal is direct observation of planets around other stars. The Big Occulting Steerable Satellite (project) - The Big Occulting Steerable Satellite (BOSS) mission is designed to provide improved resolution of closely spaced objects with comparable brightnesses (binary stars, microlensing events, ...) and to facilitate separation of dim objects from nearby bright objects (such as planets around stars) Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics - The Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) Project is a joint Japanese/New Zealand experiment established in 1995 to carry out astrophysical observations from New Zealand using `gravitational microlensing' and related techniques. European Extra-Solar Planet Consortium - EXPORT is a consortium of European astronomers using the telescopes on La Palma and Tenerife to study extra-solar planets, as well as the formation and evolution of protoplanetary systems. Mid-InfraRed Large-well Imager - MIRLIN - The JPL Deep-Well Mid-Infrared Array Camera Full-sky Astrometric Mapping Explorer - FAME is an astrometric satellite designed to determine with unprecedented accuracy the positions, distances, and motions of 40 million stars within our galactic neighborhood. It is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO) and several other institutions. THE OPTICAL GRAVITATIONAL LENSING EXPERIMENT - The Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) project is a long term project with the main goal of searching for the dark matter with microlensing phenomena.

HST Astrometry - HST Astrometry Science Team future spectrograph of OHP observatory - Spectrograph for observation of astroseismologic phenomenon and extrasolar planets (project) (french site) James Webb Space Telescope - The James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, is a large, infrared-optimized space telescope designed to study the formation of the first stars and galaxies, the evolution of galaxies and the production of elements by stars, and the process of star and planet formation. STellar Astrophysics & Research on Exoplanets - STARE uses precise time-series photometry to search for extrasolar giant planets transiting their parent stars. Microvariability and Oscillations os STars - Detection and characterisation of: (1) acoustic oscillations in Sun-like stars, including very old stars (metal-poor subdwarfs) and magnetic stars (roAp), to probe seismically their structures and ages; (2) reflected light from giant exoplanets closely orbiting Sun-like stars, to reveal their sizes and atmospheric compositions; and (3) turbulent variations in massive evolved (Wolf-Rayet) stars to understand how they add gas to the interstellar medium.
