PEGASE

Home > Library > Miscellaneous > Wikipedia

PEGASE is a proposed space mission to build a double-aperture interferometer composed of three free-flying satellites. The goal of the mission is the study of Hot Jupiters (pegasids), brown dwarfs and the interior of protoplanetary disks.^[1] The mission would be performed by the Centre National d'Études Spatiales and is currently being studied for launch around 2010–2012.^[2]
