The final mission, NASA looking for alien worlds

After final preparations over the weekend, Tess or the exoplane surveillance satellite is ready to leave Cape Canaveral in Florida.

Lifting the ship to the sky is often associated with holding the air, but there is another concern for those who have spent money and time on the Tess space telescope. Theirs is the first mission of NASA, which will be carried out with a Falcon 9, a missile produced by Elon Musk's SpaceX company, and which has been certified for such missions only in February.

Except for any possible problem, Tess will be trapped in an elyptical orbit around the earth that has never been attempted before. Space Telescope from there will be tracked down by the planets and then return his data to the ground. For now, everything is ready for Monday... ”, says Steven Rinehart, project scientist Tess at NASA Space Flight Center, Goddard, in Maryland.

Rise in space, it's not safe, but at this point, there's nothing we can do but wait and see”. Tess follows NASA telescope Capler, which transformed the meaning of planets beyond our solar system. When Kepler was launched in 2009, astronomers knew that alien worlds flowed beyond the stars, but had no idea of their size and size. Last month Kepler discovered more than 2300 exotics.
