A Space Station-based search for other planetary systemsThe physical forces shaping and maintaining the form of the solar system and disk galaxies are reviewed to define the basis for an observational campaign from the Space Station, to find other planetary systems. The evolution of the distribution of types of matter in the solar system is regarded as typical of the formation of planetary systems around other stars. The observation campaign would cover 100 stars out to 10 pc and last 15-30 yr. Technological challenges which must be met to realize the telescope on the Station are described.
