About this technology

Overview

The Exoplanet Transit Survey (ETS) provides a framework that can be used by a network of amateur astronomers and small colleges and universities to observe transiting exoplanets. These observations will be used to more accurately predict upcoming exoplanet transits, to more efficiently use large telescope (e.g., JWST) time for follow-up observations. While ETS will observe any target with large uncertainties in its transit time, it will also focus on the hundreds of TESS-discovered targets.
