Astrophysics Strategic Mission Concept Studies
Astrophysics Strategic Mission Concept Studies [AMSCS] is an program within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration agency of the United States government for possible projects leading to probable prospective missions.

History
Pre-proposal workshops were held in October 2007.[1][2] The Astrophysics Strategic Mission Concept Studies (ASMCS) awards were made in the spring of 2008.
Exoplanets
Proposals for the study of planets external to the Solar System [3] include; the evaluation of the most effective means for the direct studies of exoplanets provided affirmation for the use of starshades.[4][5] Planet Hunter Deep search of 65 nearby stars for Earth analogs.[6] Mark Clampin/Goddard Space flight centre - Extrasolar planet imaging coronograph-to produce fundamental physical characteristics of giant planets in other planetary systems.[7] Detecting Extrasolar Planets by Sharing the Burden [8]
Actively Corrected Coronagraph Exoplanet System Studies
The actively corrected coronograph for exoplanet system studies ; the principal investigator of this project is J.Trauger [9] working at the California Jet propulsion laboratory.[10][11]
Actively Corrected Coronagraph Exoplanet System Studies
(pupil mapping exoplanet coronograph) (Olivier Guyon University of Arizona)-1.4 metre optical telescope fitted with a phase-induced amplitude apodization coronagraph, to image and characterize nearby exoplanets and zodiacal dust in stars zones considered to contain planets habitable to possible life.[12]
Actively Corrected Coronagraph Exoplanet System Studies
(dilute aperture visible nulling coronograph) project . This is a 1.1 metre telescope array. The lead investigator is Michael Shao.[13]
Additional proposals
James Adams/National Space Science and Orbiting Centre Orbiting Astronomical Spectrometer in Space - the goal of the OASIS mission is to identify the site and sites where Galactic cosmic ray originate and are accelerated.
Roger Brissenden [14] /Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory A concept of the technology required for Generation X: A Large Area and High resolution X-ray observatory to study the early universe.The gen-x mission is designed to observe the first black-holes and stars at redshift z~10-20.And wil trace the evolution through cosmic time of galaxies and there elements using X-ray spectroscopy.
