So what does Corot look like?-- Planetary 19:22, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
There's a nice image on the webpage
[1]. I uploaded the image to
Wikipedia, but it seems like it will be deleted since the licence is:

Linuxman 17:24, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
I received this response from a representative at CNES:
So looks like a no go. I'll delete the image. Too bad, I guess we'll have to wait until launch and hope that someone with a more liberal license takes a picture. -- dantheox 18:36, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
All the sources given and Spaceflight.com say that launch is on December 21, not 28. What's the right answer? Awolf002 12:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
The correct date is 27 December 2006, according to [1]. Timb66 12:51, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
It would be nice to see some explanation of why those two particular main regions of observation were chosen. 62.116.80.106 19:30, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
I agree. Outer space, as far as we know is limitless. I would guess that a room full of deep space scientists got together to plan the best route, based on terrestrial and previous mission observations. -- W8IMP 23:01, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
The two regions are in the two continuous viewing zones (at the poles of the orbit), and were chosen to have a high density of stars (for exoplanet searches) but not too high (since the photometry is less precise in crowded fields due to overlapping stellar images). More info is here: [1] Timb66 12:59, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

All of Colorado and surrounding states saw a fireball this morning, http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/10494439/detail.html and several other news stories report. http://www.cloudbait.com/science/fireball20070104.html claims it's likely a deorbiting stage from the Soyuz that launched COROT ... interesting footnote maybe. :)
Definitely deserves a mention if we can find a better correlating source. According to NORAD, "The 1st Space Control Squadron, located at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station in Colorado Springs, Colorado tracked this re-entry from a launch that occurred 27 December 2006." 2006 in spaceflight lists this as the only launch that day. So, that's probably it. Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 07:37, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
When will Corot find planets? BlueEarth 19:18, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
They have detected a Jupiter sized planet, and the sensitivity is 10 times higher than expected, so Earth sized planets can be found. According to BBC news and New Scientist. Martin Andersen
Could someone explain me what they mean with "CoRoT is discovering exo-planets at a rate only set by the available resources to follow up the detections" ? Does that mean that the Data so far collected could "contain" several samples of exoplanets, but that they have to wait in order to analyse the data? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.217.42.162 ( talk) 15:54, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
This mission is a lot of hype and almost no real results. Last annoucement on 20 december was abount only one planet, and generally we know about two hot jupiters from this mission from beginning of science phase (3 february 2007). Absolutely nothing exceptional and in stark contrast with all hype, teasers and allegedly wonderous preformance. I understand that coughing up results that are sure and real is hard, but then this hype is let-down and misleading, to say at least. -- Madcio ( talk) 13:30, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
It appears that all three case variants appear in publications. (see the References and Further reading sections) Any thoughts on which one might be "correct"? I don't want to start a long drawn you debate as this is a quite minor matter at this stage, but I thought I would bring it up because I noticed the variants in use. --User:Ceyockey ( talk to me) 21:08, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was no consensus to support moves. JPG-GR ( talk) 04:46, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
Requesting the following group of moves:
The reason for the request is that the alternating case form of the name is the one that is used in the scientific papers published about CoRoT discoveries, e.g. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]. This form is also used on several places on the CNES site, e.g. [11] [12] [13] [14] and regarding the planet/star designations, it is the form used on SIMBAD: [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20].

The destination page of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_lens#Multiple_lenses seems to have been edited, breaking the link. Since I don't know what such a thing is (which is why I discovered the problem) I can't fix it! Old Aylesburian ( talk) 17:17, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
NASA images are PD, right? Here's one: [23]. It's on NASA domain page and has no copyright notice, so presumably it is NASA's own work...? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:46, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
The entry "COROT scientists have indicated at the 2009 IAU meeting that they have evidence of as many as 80 planets ..." should be deleted permanently. Its source is an article from The Economist, written by someone who completely misunderstood a talk given by M Mayor at the last IAU General assembly. Facts are: M Mayor is not a 'Corot Scientist' or a member of any Corot Scientific Team and would not make such annoucement on behalf of CoRoT; the evidence for 80 planets has not been anyounced anywhere else or in any other media; for the transit method it is practically impossible to find 5 planets in a system. M Mayor's mentioning of '80 planets' must have referred to some other planet detection project. Tenefifi ( talk) 10:29, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
I just heard that on 4 November 2012, upon passing over the South Atlantic Anomaly, the instruments have suddenly stopped collecting data anymore. As of today (15/11), they are still trying to recover the satellite but with low expectations. Anyone can confirm this? 130.183.135.161 ( talk) 10:33, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
