A new observational approach to the search for extra-solar planetary systems is presented which is based on high resolution spectroscopy, high coronographic efficiency, and long integration time. It is proposed to look for maxima in the cross-correlation function between the spectra of selected stars and their surrounding space. The Orbiting Planetary Telescope mission should be capable of meeting the following requirements: high rejection rate of the direct flux from the central star by coronographic techniques and the simultaneous access to a wide spectral range and a high spectral resolution.
