Abstract
AbstractThe Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is an MIT-led NASA mission that will spend two years searching for transiting exoplanets via an all-sky survey that starts in the Southern Hemisphere. Launched in 2018 April, TESS is expected to discover thousands of Earth- to Neptune-sized planets, and over ten thousand giant planets, around the closest, brightest, stars. These planets will become our best targets for learning more about planet formation and evolution, planet composition, and atmospheric make-up. More detailed information about TESS, and instructions on how to access and work with the data once they are available, was given in Workshop 3, Getting ready for TESS, held earlier during the Symposium (p. 224).
