The correct answer is terrestrial planet finder.

The TPF or terrestrial planet finder was a suggested project by NASA to develop a system of space telescopes for finding the extrasolar terrestrial planets. There were actually, two telescope systems under contemplation, that is, the TPF-1, the infrared astronomical interferometer that had many small telescopes, and TPF-C, Visible Light Coronagraph that used one large telescope.
