TESS arrives in FLA

After watching the DeepAstronomy.space webcast of Dr Sara Seager and Natalia Guerrero, Deputy TOI Manager, on exoplanet satellite TESS, I found an article at Spaceflight Now. It documents the arrival of the TESS to Florida. The launch is planned for mid-April and NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite will reach space atop a Falcon 9.

The MIT web site has lots of information on the satellite and the mission.
