CoRoT使命由法国国家空间研究中心（CNES）航天局牵头，是法国、奥地利、比利时、巴西、德国、西班牙和欧空局共同努力的结果。在环绕地球的轨道上，CoRoT于2007年2月开始了它的第一次观测，现在，它以非常高的精度定期产生一万条光变曲线。性能比预期的要好，并且在原始数据中已经检测到了一些热故障。一旦完全校正的数据将被交付，应该检测到更小的凌日，从而获得热海王星和大型类地行星家族。我们简要地描述了使命的状态，飞行性能和地面程序的后续策略。我们还提出了一些初步的结果，从第一次分析的数据。
Abstract Led by the CNES space agency the CoRoT mission is born from a joint effort of France, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Germany, Spain and ESA. In orbit around the Earth, CoRoT started its first observations in February 2007 and is, now, regularly producing ten thousand light-curves with a very high accuracy. Performances are better than expected and some Hot Jupiters have already been detected in the raw data. Once the fully corrected data will be delivered, much smaller transits should be detected giving access to the hot Neptunes and the big Terrestrial planet families. We briefly describes the status of the mission, the inflight performance and the ground based program follow up strategy. We also present some preliminary results issued from a first analysis of the data.
