CHEOPS

CHEOPS (CHaracterizing ExOPlanets Satellite) is a space telescope of the European Space Agency (ESA).

In operation since 2020, this telescope has an aperture of 32cm (diameter of the primary mirror) and is in low orbit around the Earth. The objective of the mission is to measure with very high precision the transits of known exoplanets or exoplanet candidates. Several EXOTIC members are involved in the mission.
