TL;DR: The Space Interferometry Mission PlanetQuest (SIM PlanetQuest) as discussed by the authors was the first interferometer designed for precision astrometry, achieving a parallax of about 4 μas on targets as faint as V = 20, and differential accuracy of 0.6 μas.

TL;DR: The Space Interferometry Mission PlanetQuest (SIM PlanetQuest) was selected in 2000 for the NASA Astrobiology Challenge and has been successfully used to search for planets with masses as small as an Earth orbiting in the 'habitable zone' around the nearest stars.
