Abstract
AbstractThe COROT project, developed in the framework of the CNES small satellite programme with a wide European cooperation, will be launched in 2004. It is dedicated to seismology and the detection of telluric planets. It will perform relative broad-band photometry in visible light, during very long (150 days) observing runs in the same direction. Both programmes are working simultaneously on the same region of the sky. The seismology programme aims at mapping the HR diagram and study in detail 50 targets brighter than 9th magnitude. Another 50 will also be observed with a lower accuracy. The exoplanet programme will search for telluric planets slightly larger than the Earth, in the habitable zone and closer. Its data will also address many seismology problems.
