Demonstrate high spectral spectroscopy for astroseismology |
| Description |
Demonstrate high spectral spectroscopy with astroseismology as its first science case, adaptable in turn to other uses such as exoplanet transits. The required arcsecond pointing accuracy will be enabled by a line-of-sight stabilisation technology in a closed loop with its 3-axis pointing system. It is due to launch in 2023 |
