  • Abstract: The topic of exoplanets speaks directly to the very simple and profound question of whether we are alone in the Universe and is easy to relate to. As such, it provides an excellent means through which to engage young people in some of the thrills of science and, critically, a vehicle with which to teach analytical skills. We propose to use CHEOPS observations as the basis for a new ESA Education classroom project to run in 2022/2023. We request a total of 20 CHEOPS orbits for the 2-part project, in which teams of 15 - 19 year olds will write a short CHEOPS proposal to observe a transiting exoplanet and analyse the resulting light curves, with support from ESA and local early-career mentors. We plan to involve the CHEOPS/exoplanets community in the project as mentors and project reviewers, also in publicising of the activity.

Mission Description CHEOPS (Benz et al., https://doi.org/10.1007/s10686-020-09679-4) is a European Space Agency (ESA) mission in partnership with Switzerland with important contributions to the payload and the ground segment from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

The satellite has a single payload comprising an ultra-high precision photometer covering the 330 - 1100 nm wavelength range in a single photometric band. Observations are made as part of the Guaranteed Time Observing Programme that is formulated by the CHEOPS Science Team, and the Guest Observers Programme through which the Community at large can apply for CHEOPS time.
