Scientific paper

To be potentially habitable, a planet must be situated such that the combined effect of stellar luminosity and orbital semi-major axis will permit liquid water to exist on its surface. To be habitable, liquid water must exist on the planet’s surface. To detect a habitable planet, we must measure or infer these properties. Missions to measure potential habitability are Kepler and SIM-Planetquest. Missions to measure habitability are TPF-C and Darwin/TPF-I. This talk will focus on the expected results from these missions, and the scientific value gained from the combination of these results.
