What is the Kepler Mission?
Kepler is NASA's first mission capable of finding Earth-size and smaller planets around other stars. The Kepler Mission is specifically designed to survey our area of the Milky Way Galaxy to detect and characterize hundreds of Earth-size and larger planets in or near the habitable zone. The habitable zone encompasses the distances from a star where liquid water can exist on a planet's surface. Discovery of planets in the habitable zone may lead to the discovery of extraterrestrial life.
How is the SETI Institute involved?
SETI Institute scientist Dr. Jon Jenkins is a Co-investigator for the mission's signal processing work, while Dr. Jill Tarter serves on the Science Working Group.
The Education and Public Outreach program for the Kepler Mission is led by SETI Institute Director of Education, Edna DeVore , working in partnership with the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California, Berkeley. |
