The TOLIMAN (Telescope for Orbit Locus Interferometric Monitoring of our Astronomical Neighbourhood) space telescope is a low-cost mission concept aimed at detecting of exoplanets via the astrometry method, and specifically targeting the Alpha Centauri system. TOLIMAN will focus on stars within 10 parsecs (32.6 light years) of the Sun. The telescope, still under construction, is expected to be launched into low Earth orbit no earlier than 2024. The mission will involve scientists of the University of Sydney, Saber Astronautics in Australia, Breakthrough Initiatives, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
According to the Mission Leader Peter Tuthill the launch is expected no earlier than the end of 2024.
TOLIMAN will explore all three components of the Alpha Centauri system in search of planets in the habitable zone.
