Borucki &Summers (1984) have suggested that extrasolar terrestrial planets can be detected by looking for transits. A discussion is presented of a model used to estimate the number and distance of stars for which planets can be detected as a function of spectral type and luminosity class, apparent brightness, planetary size and orbit, and realistic noise sources that must be considered. A choice for an optimum location of the field to search is described given the realistic constraints of a space mission and maximizing the number of available stars.
