Mission Details
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is the next step in the search for planets outside of our solar system, including those that could support life. The mission will find exoplanets that periodically block part of the light from their host stars, events called transits. TESS will survey 200,000 of the brightest stars near the sun to search for transiting exoplanets.
LAUNCHED: TESS launched on April 18, 2018, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
