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.[1] TOLIMAN will focus on stars within 10 parsecs (32.6 light years) of the Sun.[2] The telescope, still under construction,[3] is expected to be launched into low Earth orbit no earlier than 2024.[4] The mission will involve scientists of the University of Sydney, Saber Astronautics in Australia, Breakthrough Initiatives, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.[5]
According to the Mission Leader Peter Tuthill the launch is expected no earlier than the end of 2024.[citation needed]
TOLIMAN will explore all three components of the Alpha Centauri system in search of planets in the habitable zone.[citation needed]
