Scientific paper

The COROT project, developed in the framework of the CNES small satellite program with a wide European cooperation, will be launched in 2004. It is dedicated to seismology and detection of telluric planets. It will perform relative broad band photometry in visible light, during very long (150 days) observing runs in the same direction. Both programs are working simultaneously on the same region of the sky. The seismology program aims at mapping the H-R diagram and study in details approximately 50 targets brighter than 9th magnitude. Another 50 will also be observed with a lower accuracy. The exoplanet program will search for telluric planets slightly larger than the Earth, in the habitable zone and closer.
