The Transient Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is designed to search for transiting exoplanet systems around all stars with V < 12. The TESS payload consists of a bank of six identical, wide-field, high-precision imaging photometers. When deployed on the highly-stable TESS satellite platform, these photometers can perform <200 ppm photometry for V=8 stars ( ppm for V=6 stars) in a 10-minute observation. We describe the components of the TESS imaging photometers: the custom, wide-field optics; the large-area CCD arrays; and the low-power, high precision CCD electronics. Support for TESS has been provided by NASA, the Kavli Foundation, Google, and the Smithsonian Institution.
