The conceptual mission is called the Extreme-ultraviolet Stellar Characterization for Atmospheric Physics and Evolution (ESCAPE) mission.
The details of the mission proposal are in new research titled "ESCAPE: a small explorer mission to study the stellar drivers of exoplanet evolution."
Over its 2-year mission, ESCAPE will use its single instrument to perform two separate surveys.
The ESCAPE mission has a predecessor, the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE), which ended 25 years ago.
The ESCAPE mission is more evidence that exoplanet science is advancing.
