// MISSION — OUTER SYSTEM & EXOWORLDS

Long Baseline

CONCEPTRESEARCH

A distributed long-baseline imaging probe array.

// OVERVIEW

Long Baseline flies a formation of probes as a single distributed aperture, resolving exoworlds that no single mirror can — a research-horizon program leaning on swarm autonomy.

It is the most distant rung of the identification ladder.

// APPROACH
01

Distribute

Fly a precise formation as one synthetic aperture.

02

Image

Directly image exoworld candidates.

03

Coordinate

Hold formation with swarm autonomy.

Tell us the objective. We'll sequence it.

Near-term cislunar work funds and de-risks the long arc to Mars and beyond.
