Animation of TESS's two phases while in orbit. During HASO--or high-altitude science operations--the spacecraft is farther from Earth and is capturing science data with its cameras. As it nears its closest approach to Earth, it switches to LAHO--low-altitude housekeeping operations--and rotates to transmit and recieve data from the ground.
