A new proposed mission from China could be the first to find Earth 2.0 by AndyTomaswick
One reason an Earth 2.0 has been elusive so far is its longer orbital periods. Kepler suffered a mechanical failure in two reaction wheels relatively early in its operational lifetime, limiting its usefulness for long-term observations. Given Earth’s own year-long orbital period, there is a high likelihood that Earth analogs will have similarly long orbital periods.
According to Dr. Ge Jian, the lead author of the white paper, the search for Earth 2.0 is all based on statistics. The more stars a mission can observe, and the longer they can observe them, the more likely they will find that first Earth analog. To that end, Ge expects ET to find over 30,000 new exoplanets, with 5,000 of them being rocky ones around the size of Earth.
