By monitoring tiny dips in starlight, the mission will scan a curated list of over 3,000 nearby stars, leveraging a larger telescope and a wide wavelength range from ultraviolet to infrared. The goal is to identify habitable-zone candidates that can later be studied for atmospheric biosignatures with the James Webb Space Telescope, advancing the search for potentially life-supporting worlds.
