This NASA Discovery mission is to be launched in June 2008 and will search for Earth-size and smaller planets. Launch was originally scheduled in 2007 but delayed by 8 months due to "funding constraints".
Here's the official web site: http://www.kepler.arc.nasa.gov/ |

According to the Kepler website, which doesn't look like it has been updated for a while, the Critical Design Review for Kepler was supposed to happen in February. Does anyone know if it happened, whether Kepler passed, and if it has enterred ATLO yet? We've heard second hand reports via Bruce that the budget has been busted, but that NASA will keep the money flowing. But has the project moved much lately?

QUOTE (Redstone @ Mar 29 2006, 04:46 PM)  According to the Kepler website, which doesn't look like it has been updated for a while, the Critical Design Review for Kepler was supposed to happen in February. Does anyone know if it happened, whether Kepler passed, and if it has enterred ATLO yet? But has the project moved much lately? Today, I noticed that the Kepler web site schedule has been updated. Launch has been slipped by 4 months due to fiscal matters, and is now scheduled for October 2008. In addition, the Critical Design Review is scheduled for this month, April 2006. In addition, Kepler will now feature a fixed High Gain antenna, instead of featuring a gimbal. According to the website, this was done to reduce risk, cost and complexity. However, this means that Kepler will miss 1 day's worth of observing per month. |
