Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is a space telescope for NASA's Explorer program, designed to search for exoplanets using the transit method in an area 400 times larger than that covered by the Kepler mission. [6]
Following a travel time of 30 days after launch, it began to orbit the Sun-Earth Lagrangian point L2 [3] in an eclipse-free halo orbit about 1 million km wide. Upon receiving the initial images, a problem surfaced as scientists discovered a small gap in the spacecraft's hull.
