Scientific paper

The transit method may be used not only for planets detection, but also for the characterization of their atmosphere thanks to spectroscopy during the primary and / or the secondary transit. The EChO mission (Exoplanet Characterization Observatory) has been proposed and pre-selected by ESA for the M3 slot of its "Cosmic Vision" program in that purpose. In this presentation, we sketch the outline of the mission concept. This presentation is completed by a description of the scientific goals of the mission (see T Encrenaz / P. Drossart in this session).
