02-Dec-02 | StarLight grounded
According to this JPL web site, the StarLight interferometry mission has been reduced to ground demonstrator status, thus cancelling a spacecraft launch aboard a Delta II in 2005-06. The project will instead work toward developing “technologies that support formation flying interferometry for TPF [Terrestrial Planet Finder],” due to launch aboard an EELV around 2012. Thanks to Gunter Krebs for the update.
