- The Exoplanet Search with PRIma (ESPRI) will use the PRIMA dual-feed astrometric capability on the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) to perform astrometric detections of extra-solar planets. We present an overview of our data-reduction strategy for achieving 10-μarcsecond accuracy narrow-angle astrometry using the PRIMA instrument. We discuss the error budget for astrometric measurements, and those aspects of our strategy which are designed to minimise the astrometric measurement errors
