MOST - un microsatellite de la taille d'une mallette (65 cm x 65 cm x 30 cm, 60 kg), explorera étoiles et planètes extrasolaires en mesurant d'infimes variations de lumière indétectables depuis la Terre. L'utilisation d'un télescope de si petite taille (ouverture de 15 cm) est rendue possible grâce à la nouvelle technologie canadienne de commande d'attitude de satellites.
