NASA officials said Information on the Next Generation Space Telescope, Habitable Global Observatories A recent session of the American Astronomical Society,
In the session, Mark Clampin, director of the Astrophysics Division of NASA’s Science Operations Directorate, provided some details. The telescope can be put into operation in the early 1940s.
one of these requirements There is an observatory Has been chosen National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine Decennial Review of Astronomy and AstrophysicsThe report has been compiled by hundreds of industry experts Serve as a reference document for the future goals of the departments.
One Key findings from the most recent decennial survey There was a need to find out habitable worlds beyond our own, using a telescope specially designed for this purpose. The report recommended creating an $11 billion viewing roomOne with a 6-meter telescope that captures light in optical, ultraviolet, and infrared wavelengths. (Hubble Space dtelescope be seen Predominantly in optical and ultraviolet light, it has been launched recently Web Space Telescope Images are in mid-infrared and near-infrared wavelengths.)
Decimal survey authors recommended the first habitable global observatory in the new Grand Observatories project; Basically, the main focus of the next generation of 21st century space telescopes. as a flag mentionedIt drops the 10-year report’s recommendation for a space telescope focused on exoplanets Somewhere between two adults NASA suggestionsTelescopic concepts are named Habax And Lovar.

The exoplanets were discovered in order؛ Finding worlds with conditions that could support life as we know it is difficult. web Aliens have been discovered And aspects of atmospheric chemistryAnd other telescopes (even planned ones like the Romanian Space Telescope) change direction I look These strange worlds.
Unlike other telescopes – functional and both Still on the drawing boardThe planned Global Habitable Observatory will search for so-called Goldilocks planets, worlds with conditions that could support life.
The search for extraterrestrial life is a relentless goal for NASA. The Mars Perseverance rover is collecting rock samples on Mars to, among other things, determine if there is any evidence of ancient microbial life in an area of the planet that was once a flowing river delta. (Environment, this is important to note Scientists think it’s the same thing (to where the first known life on Earth originated).
Behind – on the other side Scientists believe in Mars Future studies Signs of life can be found on Jupiter’s moon Europa or in the subsurface ocean. A methane ocean on Saturn’s moon Titan.
But they are places in our solar system that are hostile compared to Earth. tasks like he-goat and this is Kepler Space Telescope Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered, but only a part of them are Earth-like small to disappear.
Like the web dThe future ELESCOPE observatory will be located in L2, an area about a million miles from Earth that allows objects to stay in place with relatively little fuel burn. (By saving fuel, the working life is extended).
like Scientific reportKlumbin said the habitable world laboratory will be designed for maintenance and upgrades. There is no web. The next observatory in the NASA Space Telescope Park will make it a more permanent presence.
Hubble was It is served by human popularity several times in low Earth orbit Mechanical picks and servo hoisted over a telescope 32 years in space.
Habitable Earth Observatory repairs and upgrades (occurring 1 million miles from Earth-(too far from human fix) to be done robotically, more Star Wars droid style than IT department hands.
Space News reported Soon, NASA said Start seeking nominations for people to join the START Review Team for the new lab.. The first phase of laboratory development is planned for 2029.
November, Clampin told the House subcommittee The web telescope has suffered 14 attacks small fishTiny pieces of fast space rock that damage telescope mirrors. The NASA team is “making some operational changes to avoid future impacts,” Klumbin said, and the telescope was a bit out of order. It has been repositioned to reduce the risk of future strikes.
One of the parts of the telescope glass was damaged a Micrometroid strikeAnd But The team’s analysis found that the telescope “must meet optical performance requirements for several years.”
Most important for the astronomy community is that the new observatory’s budget and schedules remain consistent. the There was a web project Late years and over budget. Space News ReportT This S.Ohm’s scientists are calling for an accelerated timeline that could see a habitable global screen launch by 2035.
Future telescopes will get the ball rolling for good. The question is what Sisyphean bowling would look like.
