message: All of Colorado and surrounding states saw a fireball this morning, http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/10494439/detail.html and several other news stories report.  http://www.cloudbait.com/science/fireball20070104.html claims it's likely a deorbiting stage from the Soyuz that launched COROT ... interesting footnote maybe. :)

replies: text: *The mission is led by CNES and ESA is only a partner among others. The burden of PR certainly lies on the shoulders of CNES.— JyriL talk 19:26, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

text: COROT should start searching for planets at least once per every month. BlueEarth 01:34, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I totally didn't expect that. Looks like I underestimated them. --Planetary 06:20, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've heard there are about a ten thousand possible candidates found during the first month. Undoubtedly vast majority of them are false alarms (red dwarfs, grazing eclipses, blenders etc.). To confirm a planet one needs radial velocity measurements and that requires time. Don't except major announcements in a few months. — JyriL talk 13:09, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I'm not an expert, but I recall reading from blogs  that Corot has presented several light curves at scientific meetings that were under non-disclosure agreements. Essentially they want to do the follow-up observations from larger ground telescopes to look for radial motion before making announcements of transits, to reduce reporting false positives (and presumably so that other astronomers don't beat them to finding anything exciting in the follow-up results). This blog implies that they have at least a few dozen fairly solid transit detections. Willhsmit (talk) 01:49, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you, that made it much clearer to me! So I guess we'll all soon know what they've detected so far.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.217.26.55 (talk) 19:27, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  When to search for planets? 

message: This mission is a lot of hype and almost no real results. Last annoucement on 20 december was abount only one planet, and generally we know about two hot jupiters from this mission from beginning of science phase (3 february 2007). Absolutely nothing exceptional and in stark contrast with all hype, teasers and allegedly wonderous preformance. I understand that coughing up results that are sure and real is hard, but then this hype is let-down and misleading, to say at least. --Madcio (talk) 13:30, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you complaining about the mission or the Wikipedia article? This is not the place to discuss the mission. Talk pages are intended for discussion of the article. If you are aware of criticisms of the COROT project in reliable published sources, you can add information about those criticisms to the article, citing the reliable sources. -- Donald Albury 15:31, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hype 

message: It appears that all three case variants appear in publications. (see the References and Further reading sections)  Any thoughts on which one might be "correct"?  I don't want to start a long drawn you debate as this is a quite minor matter at this stage, but I thought I would bring it up because I noticed the variants in use. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 21:08, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Both the CNES and the ESA are pretty consistent with 'COROT', although there is the one press release (in French) from CNES with 'Corot'. So maybe 'COROT' is correct in English, if not in French. :) -- Donald Albury 00:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The entry "COROT scientists have indicated at the 2009 IAU meeting that they have evidence of as many as 80 planets ..." should be deleted permanently. Its source is an article from The Economist, written by someone who completely misunderstood a talk given by M Mayor at the last IAU General assembly. Facts are: M Mayor is not a 'Corot Scientist' or a member of any Corot Scientific Team and would not make such annoucement on behalf of CoRoT; the evidence for 80 planets has not been anyounced anywhere else or in any other media; for the transit method it is practically impossible to find 5 planets in a system. M Mayor's mentioning of '80 planets' must have referred to some other planet detection project. Tenefifi (talk) 10:29, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I just heard that on 4 November 2012, upon passing over the South Atlantic Anomaly, the instruments have suddenly stopped collecting data anymore. As of today (15/11), they are still trying to recover the satellite but with low expectations. Anyone can confirm this? 130.183.135.161 (talk) 10:33, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
