The STScI Director has accepted the recommendation of the Working Group on Strategic Exoplanet Initiatives and has decided to proceed with a large-scale survey of rocky M-dwarf #exoplanets: The program will use around 500 hours of Director’s Discretionary Time on the #Webb Space Telescope to search for atmospheres in more than a dozen nearby systems. Approximately 250 orbits of ultraviolet observations with the #Hubble Space Telescope will be used to characterize the activity of the host stars.
