Telescopes transiting Exoplanet Survey
Satellite (TESS) will hunt for planets around the nearest star from our planet.
Unlike the Kepler telescope, the telescope
Tess will measure the size of a planet, and see how long orbit of the planet to
the star.
There are two technologies of the system
Tess, a telescope in space, helped by telescopes on Earth.
Kepler mission is searching for planets
with ribuatn number of planets that have been found, and the distance of 10
thousand light years from Earth. The direction taken in kontelasi Cygnus.
Tess search for planets closer. Perhaps
only hundreds of light years away, and bearda around our solar system.
Tess will track all directions, at least 26
parts in space. Tess space telescope camera uses very strong, and would be
observed for 27 days of each area being observed. Keep track of a starlight
every 2 minutes of faint stars visible star or size is not too large.
Researchers hope to find 200 thousand stars within two years of operation of the telescope Tess . And is also expected to add to the discovery of new planets a thousand others , after several thousand planets have been discovered by the Kepler space telescope , Hubble and telescopes on Earth .
Target planet find is the same as Kepler telescope system . When a planet transits , or passes in front of the star , the planet will be further investigated . Because of this planet do not have lights , and various objects in space so far. The easiest way just see the planet when it closes starlight.
Tess telescope being part of GI projects , including a study of young stars , binary stars , supernovae are closer to the Earth .
Tess telescope launch planned in 2017 or 2018, before the scheduled planned James Webb telescope as the most powerful space telescope , which was launched in 2018
