Marr - 1 SIM MMR Space Interferometry Mission A NASA Origins Mission SIM 5/14/2004 Project Summary National Aeronautics and Space Administration Jet Propulsion Laboratory California Institute of Technology SIM Project Overview Salient Features 3 parallel Michelson Stellar Interferometers 10 meter baseline Visible wavelength Launch Vehicle: Atlas V or Delta IV ELV Earth-trailing solar orbit 5 year mission life with 10 year goal SIM is a JPL, Caltech, Lockheed Martin ATC, NGST, KSC, and SIM Science Team partnership Science Perform a search for other planetary systems by surveying 2000 nearby stars for astrometric signatures of planetary companions Survey a sample of 200 nearby stars for orbiting planets down to terrestrial-type masses Improve best current catalog of star positions by >100x and extend to fainter stars to allow extension of stellar knowledge to include our entire galaxy Study dynamics and evolution of stars and star clusters in our galaxy to understand how our galaxy was formed and how it will evolve. Calibrate luminosities of important stars and cosmological distance indicators to improve our understanding of stellar processes and to measure precise distance in the distant universe
