Space Interferometry Mission Science OverviewConclusions: SIM is on track for a launch in 2010. Project 'Phase C' start in October 2005. SIM is a flexibly-pointed instrument Astrometric capability (wide angle) a) 4 pas parallax precision on targets down to V = 20 = Stellar and Galactic astrophysics; and b) 1 pas single measurement accuracy. Sensitive to terrestrial-mass planets around the nearest stars New proposal opportunities are: a) AO-2 for new (large) Key projects - 2005; and b) General Observer program, for smaller proposals - 2006.
