Origins Program
NASA's Origins program is a decades-long study addressing the origins of the universe, various astronomical bodies, and life. The Origins program was started in the 1990s.[1]
So far, it consists of the following missions:
- ground-based
- Keck telescopes*
- Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer*
- Keck Interferometer*
- airborne
- space based
- Hubble Space Telescope (HST)*
- Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) - completed
- Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) - completed
- Kepler Space Observatory - completed
- Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) - cancelled
- Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) - cancelled
- James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) *
- Single Aperture Far Infrared Observatory (SAFIR)
- Large UV/Optical Telescope
- Life Finder
- Planet Imager
Missions marked with * are operational.
