Scientific paper

High accuracy photometry in space is required to detect terrestrial planets using the transit method. CoRoT, to be launched in october 2006, will be the first space mission to take up the challenge. This paper briefly reports the required accuracy and the solutions we found to reach this goal. We present some of the methods that will be used to get the best of the data and comment on the scientific impact of the mission.
