The NASA engine, known as the Transiting Exoplanet Satellite Survey (TESS), began searching for planets around nearby stars
TESS is expected to transmit the first batch of scientific data to Earth next August
TESS Telescope will transmit data every 13.5 days, once every turn around the Earth, at the Earth's closest approximation point. The TESS Science team will start looking for data on the new planet immediately after receiving the first set of information
"I am very pleased that our new hunter mission on the planet is ready to explore new worlds around our solar system.our universe has more planets than stars, i look forward to the weird and fantastic worlds that we will certainly learn, "said Paul Hertz, director of the astrophysics division of NASA at Washington headquarters.
TESS is a satellite of NASA The search for planets outside our solar system, that is exo planets Mission TESS – to control the nearest stars and the brighter to find periodic failures in their light.These events will show that the planet is going through the star.TESS is supposed to find thousands of planets used
TESS will observe each surveillance area for at least 27 days before returning to the next, covering the first south and then the northern hemisphere to map 85% of the sky.
TESS is expected to open more than 20,000 transit exoplanets, in particular – 70 planets in the living area, which will revolve around red dwarfs, and 11 of these 70 will have a radius of more than of 2 rays of the Earth. HB reported that the f Now the telescope will make no scientific observation – it will have to wait until August 2, by which date, according to the plan, it will transmit the data collected during the 51 last days.
