Abstract (EN): As a response to ESA call for mission concepts for its Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 plan, we propose a mission called Darwin. Its primary goal is the study of terrestrial extrasolar planets and the search for life on them. In this paper, we describe different characteristics of the instrument.
