Kepler Mission Kepler completed another science data download over October 18-19. In this download, a month’s worth of science data was transmitted through the NASA Deep Space Network and into the Science Operations Center at Ames Research Center. After the download was complete, the Kepler spacecraft was returned to its science collection attitude and another cycle of science data collection began.

Kepler Mission As it nears 11,000,000 miles distance from Earth, the Kepler spacecraft continues to scan the Milky Way galaxy, near the Cygnus constellation, for Earth-sized planets.
Kepler Mission The largest telescope ever built for a NASA mission soared beyond Earth’s orbit on March 7, 2009, looking not for ET, but rather ET’s home. The Kepler mission is hunting for planets in the habitable zone and may confirm the existence of other Earth-size and smaller planets. Or it may not. Either answer will be profound, and a rigorous systems engineering program was needed to address the question.

Kepler Mission remains in its science attitude and Earth-trailing, helio-centric orbit. The spacecraft is nearing 9,000,000 miles distance from Earth. All Kepler systems are now nominal as it continues to survey its target stars, looking for Earth-sized planets.
Following the unprecedented success of IYA2009's 100 Hours of Astronomy, another series of events is being planned for 22-24 October 2009. This new IYA2009 Cornerstone Project is called Galilean Night...
