The Orbiting Astronomical Satellite for Investigating Stellar Systems (OASIS)

The Orbiting Astronomical Satellite for Investigating Stellar Systems (OASIS) is a NASA Astrophysics MIDEX-class mission concept, with the stated goal of "following water from galaxies, through protostellar systems, to Earth’s oceans".

The OASIS science objectives require space-borne observations of galaxies, molecular clouds, protoplanetary disks, and solar system objects. OASIS will deploy an innovative 14-meter inflatable reflector that enables >16× the sensitivity and >4× the angular resolution of Herschel, and complements the short wavelength capabilities of James Webb Space Telescope.
