El proyecto SuperWASP (Wide Angle Search for Planets) (Búsqueda Gran Angular de Planetas ) es una búsqueda automatizada de planetas extrasolares a través del método de tránsito astronómico. Consta de dos observatorios robóticos, SuperWASP-North que se encuentra en el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, en la isla La Palma de las Islas Canarias y SuperWASP-South en el Observatorio Astronómico Sudafricano, en Sudáfrica.
El 26 de septiembre de 2006 se reportaron los primeros descubrimientos del equipo de trabajo: WASP-1b y WASP-2b,[1] ambos descubiertos en el observatorio de La Palma. Luego, en octubre de 2007 se reportó el descubrimiento de tres gigantes gaseosos más: WASP-3b, WASP-4b y WASP-5b. Todos estos últimos tienen periodos de orbitales de alrededor de dos días, y deben tener temperaturas superficiales mayores a los 2000 Kelvin. WASP-4b y WASP-5b fueron descubiertos por las cámaras sudafricanas del proyecto, y WASP-3b por las canarianas, lo que hace del proyecto SuperWASP el único que ha descubierto exoplanetas en ambos hemisferios.[2]
Se ha anunciado el descubrimiento de 10 planetas más en 2008, pero no se ha entregado información sobre su posición en el firmamento, sólo su distancia a la Tierra.
