Abstract

The science goal that drives the design and operations of the PLATO mission is the ability to detect terrestrial planets orbiting in the habitable zone of these stars. The payload is optimized to detect and characterize terrestrial planets around solar-type stars as well as at the study of their host star properties. The payload consists on a complex multi-telescope configuration with 26 cameras of 12 cm pupil size covering a field of view of more than 2000 square degrees, spread over 104 CCDs of 20 million pixels each. The information of the cameras has to be combined in order to achieve the strict noise requirements at mission level. Recently, the PLATO Mission Consortium has delivered to ESA all the cameras, fully tested, with excellent performance. The cameras are being integrated in the spacecraft for further testing before launch scheduled end 2026. In this talk we will review the drivers for PLATO Performance, we will present the most recent description of the status of noise budget and verification of main performance requirements, and we will summarize some key scientific results that can be achieved by the mission.
