abstract = {PLATO (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars) is
ESA's M3 mission designed to detect and characterise
extrasolar planets and perform asteroseismic monitoring of a
large number of stars. PLATO will detect small planets (down
to < 2 $R_Earth)$ around bright stars (< 11 mag), including
terrestrial planets in the habitable zone of solar-like
stars. With the complement of radial velocity observations
from the ground, planets will be characterised for their
radius, mass, and age with high accuracy $(5\%,$ $10\%,$
$10\%$ for an Earth-Sun combination respectively). PLATO
will provide us with a large-scale catalogue of
well-characterised small planets up to intermediate orbital
periods, relevant for a meaningful comparison to planet
formation theories and to better understand planet
evolution. It will make possible comparative exoplanetology
to place our Solar System planets in a broader context. In
parallel, PLATO will study (host) stars using
asteroseismology, allowing us to determine the stellar
properties with high accuracy, substantially enhancing our
knowledge of stellar structure and evolution. The payload
instrument consists of 26 cameras with 12 cm aperture each.
For at least four years, the mission will perform
high-precision photometric measurements. Here we review the
science objectives, present PLATO's target samples and
fields, provide an overview of expected core science
performance as well as a description of the instrument and
the mission profile towards the end of the serial production
of the flight cameras. PLATO is scheduled for a launch date
end 2026. This overview therefore provides a summary of the
mission to the community in preparation of the upcoming
operational phases.},
