China to hunt for Earth-like planets with formation-flying telescopes - SpaceNews

HELSINKI — China aims to construct an array of telescopes in deep space to search for habitable planets orbiting other stars.

The Miyin project envisions sending four light-collecting telescopes and a beam combiner to Sun-Earth Lagrange point 2.

The main objective would be to detect potentially habitable terrestrial planets orbiting Sun-like stars in our neighborhood within the Milky Way.
