DESCRIPTION:The Characterizing Exoplanets Satellite (CHEOPS) i
 s the first ESA space mission dedicated primarily 
 to the study of exoplanetary systems. The satellit
 e\, carrying a 30cm photometric telescope\, has be
 en launched successfully in December 2019 and has 
 seen first light in January 2020. Throughout it's 
 nominal mission of 3.5 years\, it will perform ult
 ra-high precision photometry of bright stars know 
 to host extrasolar planets. Next to searching for 
 transits of planets known from radial velocities a
 nd measuring precise radii of known transiting pla
 nets\, CHEOPS will dedicate approximately 25% of i
 ts observing time to characterizing \nexoplanet at
 mospheres. In this talk\, I will describe the CHEO
 PS space mission\, summarize its scientific progra
 m and detail how we will use CHEOPS to probe exopl
 anet atmospheres\, such as optical-light occultati
 ons and planetary phase curves. After introducing 
 the mission\, I will give an update on it's curren
 t status\, performances and show first science res
 ults.
