Magnifying Light by 100 Billion Times with the Solar Gravity Lens to Image an Exoplanet

Update: 2018-05-18

Description

Watch Slava G. Turyshev (Physicist, JPL) and Louis Friedman (Co-Founder and Executive Director Emeritus, The Planetary Society) discuss a mission to the SGL focal region that could provide us with direct, multi-pixel, high-resolution images and spectroscopy of a potentially habitable Earth-like exoplanet. The speakers address some aspects of mission design and spacecraft requirements, as well as capabilities needed to fly this mission in the next two decades. This lecture took place at the workshop Technology Requirements to Operate at and Utilize the Solar Gravity Lens for Exoplanet Imaging at the Keck Institute for Space Studies on May 16, 2018.
