Hi... You are watching in-depth with me ILA. The European Space Agency is preparing to launch a new mission to find more exoplanets in the universe. The name of the scheduled mission is PLATO that will be launched in 2026. PLATO mission stands for Planetary Transits and Oscillations of stars, and it will scour for thousands of Earth-like planets, including some with favorable orbits around Sun-like stars. ESA's next-generation planet-hunting mission could be the most successful one ever built. PLATO will look for more than 2,45,000 F, G, and K-type stars. A recent study has pointed out that the mission, depending on several parameters, could identify a minimum of 500 Earth-sized planets. Of these, at least a dozen could orbit G-type or Sun-like stars.
