The PLATO mission, part of the Cosmic Vision Programme M3 mission set for launch in 2026, aims to detect and characterize terrestrial exoplanets in habitable zones of solar-type stars. Utilizing a multi-camera approach with 24 Normal Cameras and two Fast Cameras, the mission's payload is designed to monitor a vast field of stars in the extended visible light range. This innovative approach ensures thermal and structural stability, optimizing the observation of numerous targets across varying brightness levels, thereby enhancing the mission's scientific yield.

Abstract
The PLATO mission, part of the Cosmic Vision Programme M3 mission set for launch in 2026, aims to detect and characterize terrestrial exoplanets in habitable zones of solar-type stars. Utilizing a multi-camera approach with 24 Normal Cameras and two Fast Cameras, the mission's payload is designed to monitor a vast field of stars in the extended visible light range. This innovative approach ensures thermal and structural stability, optimizing the observation of numerous targets across varying brightness levels, thereby enhancing the mission's scientific yield.File in questo prodotto:
