RATS project, started in February 2005, is a collaboration between several INAF Observatories (Padova, Catania, Napoli, Palermo), the Astronomy Department and Physics Department of the University of Padova and ESA, devoted to search for extrasolar planets exploiting the transit photometric technique together with spectroscopic follow up strategy for reconnaissance of false alarms. The photometric survey will conduct with the 67/92 Schmidt Telescope of M.nt Ekar equipped with the EDDINGTON frame transfer CCD. The spectroscopic follow up will be made using the echelle spectrograph (modified for fiber feeding) at the Copernico Telescope (1.82 m) at the same site. The aim of the project is twofold. The first aim is to find almost 10 (goal 20) new giant planets in 5 years and the second is to test the observing mode, the data reduction and data archiving of a transit search space mission.
