Browsing: CoRoT
The Convection, Rotation and Planetary Transits (CoRoT) mission was a pioneering space telescope launched by the French space agency CNES in 2006, with contributions from the European Space Agency (ESA) and other international partners. Designed to study stellar seismology and exoplanet detection, CoRoT observed the tiny variations in light caused by oscillations in stars and by transiting planets passing in front of their host stars. It became the first mission to discover rocky exoplanets, significantly advancing our understanding of planetary systems beyond our own. Despite the mission ending in 2013, CoRoT provided invaluable data that contributed to the foundation for future exoplanet research and the development of successor missions, like NASA’s Kepler.
