Abstract
OASIS is a 20 meter class space observatory that will perform high spectral resolution observations of water and deuterated molecules (e.g., HD) at terahertz frequencies. Over its nominal 2 year mission OASIS will probe conditions towards 100’s of protoplanatery disks and solar system objects (planets, moons, comets, and asteroids).
