SIM Project OverviewSalient Features • 3 parallel Michelson Stellar Interferometers• 10 meter baseline• Visible wavelength• Launch Vehicle: Atlas V or Delta IV ELV• Earth-trailing solar orbit• 5 year mission life with 10 year goal• SIM is a JPL, Caltech, Lockheed Martin ATC,
NGST, KSC, and SIM Science Team partnership
Science• Perform a search for other planetary systems by surveying 2000 nearby stars for astrometric
signatures of planetary companions• Survey a sample of 200 nearby stars for orbiting planets down to terrestrial-type masses• Improve best current catalog of star positions by >100x and extend to fainter stars to allow
extension of stellar knowledge to include our entire galaxy• Study dynamics and evolution of stars and star clusters in our galaxy to understand how our
galaxy was formed and how it will evolve.• Calibrate luminosities of important stars and cosmological distance indicators to improve our
understanding of stellar processes and to measure precise distance in the distant universe
