The PLATO Mission
PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars mission
1 German Aerospace Center (DLR)
2 Free University of Berlin
3 Technical University Berlin, GermanyPLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is ESA’s M3 mission and designed to detect and characterize extrasolar planets. PLATO will provide small planets around bright stars, including terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of solar-like stars. PLATO will characterize these planets for their radius, mass, and age with high accuracy. PLATO is currently scheduled for a launch date end of 2026. Its payload consists of 26 cameras with 12cm aperture each. For at least four years, the mission will perform high-precision, long-term photometric, and asteroseismic monitoring of a large number of stars to detect extrasolar planets and derive their radii and ages. The satellite data are complemented by a ground-based observing program to derive the planetary masses. The mission's catalog of well-characterized small planets at intermediate orbital periods will be an important constraint to planet formation theories and will provide targets for future spectroscopy follow-up observations to characterize planetary atmospheres. These data will be a significant step forward to address the key questions on how planets form and evolve and how frequently rocky planets suitable for the development of life have formed in our milky way.欧空局的"柏拉图"(PLATO,由"行星凌日与恒星振荡"英文缩写而来) 为欧空局M3级科学任务。该任务旨在探测及表征太阳系外行星，将高精度地测量这些系外行星的半径范围、质量和年龄，预计于2026年发射。这些数据为我们解决关键问题迈出重要一步，关键问题涉及银河系中行星如何形成和演化以及适应生命发展的岩质行星形成的频率。
ABOUT PROF. DR. HEIKE RAUER![]()
Professor Dr. Heike Rauer is director of the Institute of Planetary Research of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and professor for planetary geophysics at the Free University of Berlin. Since 2013, she is PI of the PLATO mission and a Co-PI of the ground-based Next-Generation Transit Survey (NGTS). She was a member of the science council of the French-European mission CoRoT, the first mission dedicated to the search for extrasolar planets, and participated in ESA´s Rosetta mission before focusing on exoplanet science. Heike Rauer obtained her degree in physics in 1986 and subsequently performed her Ph.D. and habilitation in the field of planetary sciences.
Heike Rauer 教授，德国航空太空中心行星研究所（DLR German Aerospace Center, Institute of Planetary Research）所长、柏林自由大学行星地球物理学教授。自2013年起，她担任欧空局柏拉图任务首席科学家，也是‘次世代凌星巡天’任务 (NGTS, Next-Generation Transit Survey)联合首席科学家。Rauer 教授是法国国家太空研究中心与欧洲太空总署所主导的对流旋转和行星横越任务（CoRoT，柯洛计划）科学理事会成员；也曾参与过欧空局罗塞塔彗星任务。
