Building on the legacies of the Hubble, James Webb and Nancy Grace Roman space telescopes, the Habitable Worlds Observatory would search for and characterize habitable planets beyond our solar system.

The mission’s main objective would be to identify and directly image potentially habitable worlds. It would then use spectroscopy to search for chemical “biosignatures” in these planets’ atmospheres, including gasses such as oxygen and methane which could serve as critical evidence for life.

The observatory would introduce new capabilities to study the universe with unprecedented sensitivity and resolution, giving us important new insights into the evolution of cosmic structures, including how galaxies form and develop over time.
