TESS completed its primary mission in July of 2020, and has now entered into its extended mission. The current extended mission will last until September 2022, and will continue to scan the sky for exoplanets and transient events. The TESS mission is now more community focused with larger guest investigator (GI) program.\n", "\n", "Over the last three years TESS has observed both the northern and southern hemispheres, with each hemisphere being split into ~13 sectors.
