MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of Stars)
From its dawn-dusk sun-synchronous orbit, MOST can carry out observations of up to 8 weeks for a single object of interest using a 15-cm telescope photometer. Its scientific goals are to detect and characterize (1) acoustic oscillations in Sunlike stars, (2) reflected light from giant exoplanets, and (3) turbulent variations in Wolf-Rayet stars.
