The launch of NASA’s next exoplanet mission, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), took place successfully on 2018 April 18, and has now commenced science operations. TESS is specifically designed to search for exoplanets transiting the closest and brightest stars using high-cadence photometric measurements. The images employed for detecting those planets can also be used for a wide variety of time-domain astronomy, especially when considering the full-frame images that TESS takes every 30 minutes. This (pre-launch) workshop familiarised participants with the details of how TESS will operate, described the expected data products and how to access them, introduced the software suite PyKE, which can be used to analyse TESS data, and highlighted ways for participants to request additional TESS targets.
