CoRoT (COnvection, ROtation and planetary Transit) was launched successfully into a near-perfect orbit on 27 December 2006 and went through its verification phase until 2 April 2007 without incident. Indeed, this process went so well that scientific operations could commence on 2 February 2007. Under the management of the French space agency CNES and with a major partnership with ESA, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Germany and Spain, COROT is the first satellite dedicated to the search for and study of planets external to the solar system, orbiting other stars, the so-called exoplanets. Further, it is designed to be able to detect for the first time planets as small as our own Earth. A second major objective is the study of acoustical waves permeating stars. All scientific specifications have already been verified or surpassed, and the exploitation phase (nominally 2.5 years) is ongoing. This paper reports the status of exo-planetary research within the emerging European plan for future space research. It reports the launch and initial phases of the CoRoT mission and details the prospects of this mission. CoRoT is thus put into the context of the Cosmic Vision plan.
