Discovering an exoplanet is just the beginning.
@ESA_CHEOPS is the first ever space mission designed to go after known exoplanets to unveil their precise sizes, masses and even atmospheres.
How will it do that? Discover here 👉 https://t.co/dgWNTtuixl
#ExoplanetExplorers
🌌 Scientific Opportunities: CHEOPS offers ultra-high precision photometry for exoplanet transits, eclipses, occultations, and more. Or even to explore exomoons, ring structures, stellar activity, and trans-Neptunian objects!
🚀 Exciting news for CHEOPS Guest Observers (GO)!
🌟 Save The Date for our 5th Announcement of Opportunity (AO-5)!
📅 Key Dates: AO-5 is foreseen to open on 12 March 2024 (12:00 CET/CEST) and close on 25 April 2024 (12:00 CET/CEST).
Interested in planets? 🪐🌎
Then you can't miss the Summer School Alpbach 2024, where you'll discover everything about giant #planets and their #moons!
Sixty #students will be selected for this ten-day learning opportunity held in the beautiful Austrian Alps, gaining a unique learning experience with stimulating lectures on space science and engineering, and working intensely within four groups to define and design a space mission under the supervision of experts.

1/ A rare star system with 6 #exoplanets has been unlocked with the help of our @ESA_Cheops mission
A special discovery because the planets’ orbital configuration shows that the system is largely unchanged since formation more than a billion years ago
