Scientific paper

MOST, the first Canadian space telescope (launched in June 2003), was designed primarily to perform high-precision photometry of bright stars (V ≤ 6) nearly continuously over long time spans of up to 60 days. In the past five years, the capabilities of MOST have been extended and enhanced to allow photometry of stars as faint as V≈13. MOST has monitored more than 1100 stars, most of which are guide stars in the fields containing Primary Science Targets. Many variable stars have been discovered in this large guide star sample, spread across the HR Diagram, including more than 30 SPB (Slowly Pulsating B) stars. For this class of stars, MOST offers excellent time coverage, precision and frequency resolution.
