I was designing a two telescope system to fly in space that could be harnessed to behave like one giant telescope. With an idea to image the surface of these planets...
It works in theory but lots of applied science these days is about payback for investment and so you need to justify the exact capabilities of any project. Mine was "blue sky" and was trying to reimagine an old idea with modern electronics.
My PhD was on this subject, at least the engineering side.
These pictures are vital to our understanding of how our solar system formed with being able to sample more than one system.
