Scientific paper

The Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) is one of the major missions in the NASA Office of Space Science Origins Theme. The primary science objective of the TPF mission is to search for, detect, and characterize planetary systems beyond our own Solar System, including specifically Earth-like planets. This paper describes the current status of TPF as well as outlines the plans for near term science investigations, mission studies and technology development leading to a mission architecture selection in the 2006 time frame in support of a launch by the middle of the next decade.
