Exoplanet Missions

An infographic showing illustrations of spacecraft and ground-based observatories. At the bottom of the image, pictured atop brown, rocky terrain, are the domes and open roofs of five different observatories. Above that, a background shows a portion of Earth from space, with the brilliant sun shining in the upper left. Areas of land and sea are visible, then a blue horizon line where the atmopshere meets space, which is dark blue and extends to the top of the image. Against that background, three swooping lines run in parallel, from the lower left corner of the frame toward the upper right corner, before turning downward, each ending in a sharp point. Along each line is a row of spacecraft — six space telescopes along the top line (labeled Hubble, Spitzer, Kepler/K2, TESS, JWST, and Roman), five smaller spacecraft along the next line down (labeled CoRoT, Gaia, CHEOPS, PLATO, and ARIEL/CASE), and four even smaller raft on the line below that (labeled ASTERIA, CUTE, SPARCS, and Pandora).
