United States to develop a ten-year development plan for livable planet

United States National Research Council has recently developed for the next ten years of development planning, including looking for livable planet and found the "dark energy" has become the primary objective of the future. It is learnt that the ten-year plan for a total investment of nearly $ 21 billion.

This development report name for the astronomy and Astrophysics of the new world and new routes. Development report by Stanford University Professor Roger-brand leading, and United States National Academy of Sciences is responsible for the review. United States National Academy of Sciences smoke eventually siselen said: "this decade may be we encounter the most difficult decade since it can completely change the history of mankind. ”

Planning of the main content consists of three parts, one is the wide-area infrared survey telescope for astronomical telescope cost $ 16 billion, the project launched in 2020, looking for a livable planet and observed supernova explosion as main task. Currently, discovered Earth-like rendering blowout, but true and it is also similar to the Earth, coupled with the destruction of the Earth's environment, which makes searching for livable planet become the primary goal for the future.

Second, the large panoramic Survey Telescope, this telescope also, approximately US $ 500 million will be spent, to 2018, the telescope will begin monitoring reports referred to in the first space area, as well as the near-Earth asteroids in the solar system and the dwarf planets beyond Neptune. Every three days, the telescope will be able to see through the entire night sky.

The third is the new world project, looking for suitable livable planet, the creation of specialized research institutions to expand on this planet, which in turn requires the construction of observation for astronomers observing the planet's astronomical telescope.

For this project through the United States Government, is also difficult to approve the following conclusion, because it's cost is huge. However, because Obama has previously said that the United States will allow research institutions to obtain more funding support, this allows United States scientists for the plan approved by the more optimistic about the prospects.
