Paper Abstract
The interferometric version of the Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF-I) has the potential to find and characterize earth-sized
planets in the habitable zones of over 250 nearby stars and to search for life using biomarkers in the atmospheres of any
planets found. The scientific case for such a mission continues to be strengthened by on-going progress in the detection
of planets via indirect means. This paper summarizes the status of TPF-I, illustrative scientific requirements for the
mission, and its enabling technologies.
