AtLast
The ATLAST. Looking forward.
"...but with substantially better resolution than either HST or the planned James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Like JWST, ATLAST will be launched to the Sun-Earth L2 Lagrange point.
ATLAST is envisioned as a flagship mission of the 2025 - 2035 period, designed to address one of the most compelling questions of our time: is there life elsewhere in our Galaxy? It will attempt to accomplish this by detecting "biosignatures" (such as molecular oxygen, ozone, water, and methane) in the spectra of terrestrial exoplanets."
"ATLAST will have an angular resolution that is 5 - 10 times better than JWST and a sensitivity limit that is up to 2,000 times better than HST."
