Launched in 2009, the Kepler Mission is surveying a region of our galaxy to determine what fraction of stars
in our galaxy have planets and measure the size distribution of those exoplanets.
Although Kepler completed its primary mission to determine the fraction of stars that have planets in 2013,
it is continuing the search, using a more limited survey mode, under the new name K2.
This service is the main Kepler data search.
This interface joins the Kepler Target Catalog (KTC) with other tables to allow users to access the Kepler data archive. Observed Kepler targets are included with their associated data set names. Since most of the Kepler light curve data is still proprietary, public data can be found by searching for release dates earlier than todays date.
