Twinkle science team member Caprice Phillips explores the possibility of studying terrestrial-like planets with Twinkle.
Blue Skies Space Ltd. has confirmed that scientists from fourteen universities across the world have joined its first space science mission, Twinkle, as the initial group of Founding Members.
Twinkle will perform simultaneous spectroscopic coverage of the 0.5 – 4.5 micron wavelength region, which covers many ammonia features. Therefore, the pursuit of searching for potential biosignatures in these worlds is exciting endeavour for the upcoming Twinkle space mission.
The spectroscopic characterisation of exoplanet atmospheres is a vital component in our search for molecular species on other planets.
