Sign in to saveAlso known as COnvection ROtation and planetary Transits, Convection Rotation and Planetary Transits
CoRoT (French: ; English: Convection, Rotation and planetary Transits) was a space telescope mission which operated from 2006 to 2013. The mission's two objectives were to search for extrasolar planets with short orbital periods, particularly those of large terrestrial size, and to perform asteroseismology by measuring solar-like oscillations in stars. The mission was led by the French Space Agency (CNES) in conjunction with the European Space Agency (ESA) and other international partners.

CoRoT (Convection, Rotation et Transits planétaires) est un télescope spatial destiné à l'étude de la structure interne des étoiles et à la recherche d'exoplanètes. Lancé le 27 décembre 2006, CoRoT est le premier télescope en orbite destiné à la recherche de planètes extrasolaires et notamment de planètes telluriques. Après 7 ans et demi de fonctionnement et de nombreuses découvertes, le satellite est désactivé le 17 juin 2014, ce qui signifie la fin de la mission.
