artists impression of habitable exoplanets (Illu.) to be as it should already start 2020th One of the four finalists' projects is a space telescope with which to analyze the atmospheres of distant exoplanets. The instrument would be the first, could also be determined by whether an exoplanet of examined life can accommodate by Earth standards.
The "exoplanet Characterization Observatory (ECHO) is competing with the X-ray Observatory" Large Observatory For X-ray Timing "(LOFT) for the investigation of fast-moving and high-energy environments of black holes, neutron stars and pulsars, and for examining X-ray outbursts, the satellite, "Space-Time Explorer and Quantum Equivalence Principle Space Test (STU-Quest), should be intensified with the astrophysical questions and the probe "marco polo-R", taken with the ESA sample on an asteroid and return to be transported to Earth.
With a 1.2 meter by measuring levels is responsible for monitoring the telescope distant exoplanet during their transit from their central stars. This drag the planet passes in front of the "sun disc" of their star, so the telescope is to thereby analyze spectrally the atmospheres of the planets falling star light . ECHO would focus it specifically on the search for biomarkers in the atmosphere far as possible to oder sogar vorhandenes Leben auf den analysierten Planeten hinweisen können.

Dem Wettbewerb innerhalb des " Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 "-Programms der ESA stehen 470 Millionen Euro zur Realisierung einer sogenannten "Medium Class"-Wissenschaftsmission zur Verfügung. Die M3-Phase ist der dritte Wettbewerb nach M1 und M2, deren Raumschiffe wahrscheinlich ab 2017 starten sollen.
A final decision on the M3-winner of ESA's scientists will now be discussed in greater detail - a process that still drag on for another four years.
