Currently the plan is that TESS will generate such a large catalog of potential exoplanets during its mission life that astrophysicists will have plenty of targets for future study.

. Mission Update: continues to operate in its science orbit that was reached in May. In one of the last passes, TESS performed a "break dance:" rotating around to evaluate any stray light sources to characterize camera performance for the duration of the mission.
