Description
The PICARD mission is a CNES micro-satellite to be launched in 2009. Its
goal is to better understand the Sun and the potential impact of its
activity on earth climate by measuring simultaneously the solar total
and spectral irradiance, diameter, shape and oscillations. We present
the scientific objectives, instrumental requirements and data products
of the helioseismology program of PICARD which aims to observe the low
to medium l p-mode oscillations in intensity and search for g-mode
oscillation signatures at the limb.

The principal objectives of this project are: 1) to study the structure and dynamics of the solar interior, 2) to extend this study to other stars, 3) to search for extrasolar planets using photometric methods (primarily by transits of their host stars) and their characterization (using radial velocity information) and 4) the study of the planetary
