NASA planet imager proposal.
Planet Quest: Missions - Terrestrial Planet Finder
http://planetquest.jpl.nasa.gov/TPF/tpf_index.html
Will study all aspects of planets outside the solar system from their formation and development to the presence and features of those planets orbiting the nearest stars.
Red Dwarf Stars and the Possibility of Life
http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~dmo25/RedDwarfs/
An analysis of the differences between planets orbiting red dwarf stars including tidal locking and spectrum. Shows how life could develop in these conditions.
Scientific consideration about Extrasolar Planets
http://www.public.asu.edu/~sciref/exoplnt.htm
A brief history of the search for extrasolar planets, the findings and the future implications.
STellar Astrophysics & Research on Exoplanets
http://www.hao.ucar.edu/public/research/stare/stare.html
STARE uses precise time-series photometry to search for extrasolar giant planets transiting their parent stars.
Terrestrial Planet Finder
http://www.terrestrial-planet-finder.com/
Explains NASA's plan to use sensitive telescopes to find planets outside of the solar-system. Includes charts and drawings.
The Big Occulting Steerable Satellite (project)
Mission designed to provide improved resolution of closely spaced objects with comparable brightnesses (binary stars, microlensing events) and to facilitate separation of dim objects from nearby bright objects (such as planets around stars).
