The long-term objective of this proposal is to find the nearest habitable terrestrial planets and probe their atmosphere to determine their chemical composition; this is a key stepping-stone in our quest for life outside the Solar System. I intend to play a pivotal role in this exciting endeavor through the deployment of three new state-of-the-art astronomical instruments whose operation will be initiated towards the end of this decade, two on the ground and one on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). These instruments will be used to initiate long-term, all-sky programs dedicated to searching nearby habitable worlds and study them in detail, in particular to determine the main constituents of their atmosphere to assess their ability to harbor life.

这项计划的长期目标是寻找最近的宜居类地行星，并探测其大气层，以确定其化学成分;这是我们寻求太阳系外生命的关键垫脚石。我打算通过部署三个新的最先进的天文仪器在这一令人兴奋的奋进中发挥关键作用，这些仪器将在本十年结束时开始运作，两个在地面上，一个在詹姆斯韦伯太空望远镜（JWST）上。这些仪器将用于启动长期的全天计划，致力于搜索附近的可居住世界并对其进行详细研究，特别是确定其大气层的主要成分，以评估其承载生命的能力。
