ESA is to convene a Terrestrial Exoplanet Science Advisory Team (TE-SAT). ESA encourages applications from scientists who would like to be considered as members. In the 2003-2006 period, the approximately ten-person team will support the preparations and technology development for advancing ESA’s terrestrial planet-search missions, such as Darwin. It will also investigate the synergy between Darwin and NASA’s Terrestrial Planet Finder concept. Scientists with a strong record of active research or experience in developing astronomical instrumentation, or both, are invited to submit a one-page summary of their CV and relevant experience.
