3	Name	Date	How
4	Nicolas Lodieu	2037	ExoLife Finder
5	Víctor J. S. Béjar	2037	mid-IR (METIS) in Proxima Cen b
6	Bartosz Gauza	2042-2045	Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) or equivalent to this mission, using a starshade coronagraphy. Detection of reflected light in visible range, planet around a nearby M dwarf. The further investigation of biosignatures will require space nulling interferometry achieved by telescopes with fleet formation flight capability. First plausible evidence of biosignatures possible for a planet NOT orbiting an M dwarf but a G or K-type star.
