Pandora is a small satellite designed to characterize exoplanet atmospheres and their host stars. It is slated to observe at least 20 different planets during its one year of science operations.

Looks like an interesting mission, which will look for hazes, clouds and water in exoplanets and help search for any indications that life may exist out side of our solar system.

There are some good contenders out there, but nothing concrete has, as yet, been found and there does seem to be quite a few criteria for this.
