It will operate from the second Lagrange point (L2) and is designed for long-term exoplanet observation. Aerial will study around 1000 exoplanets, focusing on their chemical compositions and thermal structures, to understand their formation and evolution. The mission aims to explore the potential for life on other planets, contributing to our understanding of the universe.
