NASA's TESS Ready for Launch Atop Falcon 9

From the creator

A Falcon 9 rocket stands ready to boost NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, the next step in the search for planets outside the solar system. The mission is designed to find these planets, also known as "exoplanets," orbiting other nearby, bright stars. Exoplanets periodically blocking star's light while they transition across the astronomical object. TESS is scheduled to launch atop a Falcon 9 rocket at 6:51 p.m. from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
