Abstract
This work consists in the design of an innovative payload instrument onboard of a cubesat. The instrument scope is to detect extrasolar planets; the ultimate goal would be to reveal Earth-like planets around Sun-like stars. The innovative aspect of this instruments is the improvement in the false positive recognition through a simple optical design that involves a four facet round based pyramid.
