Toward Finding Earth 2.0: Masses and Orbits of Small Planets with Extreme Radial Velocity Precision

Abstract
Having discovered that Earth-sized planets are common, we are now embarking on a journey to determine if Earth-like planets are also common. To achieve this forward-looking goal, we must determine the masses and orbits of the planets; as such, the development of high quality precision radial velocity instruments and facilities is needed.
