Join us for the next American Astronautical Society
“Future in Space” online discussion:
Viewing Exoplanets Through A Solar Gravity Lens
Friday, March 19 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern
FREE – No registration required!
What is an Einstein ring?
How can we accelerate the search for life in our universe?
And what do pearls and sails have to do with exploring space?
Exciting new mission concepts based on the theory of the solar gravitational lens are being considered using unique technologies to conduct unprecedented science reaching far into the universe. These missions would use the Sun as a gravitational lens to resolve an exoplanet surface and search for signs of life using innovative spacecraft and benefits of autonomous systems.
