Busy times are routine for the Kepler project team. Since my last update, we have announced several more confirmed planets -- Kepler-16b, and the Kepler 18 system (18b, 18c, and 18d). We were particularly excited about Kepler-16b as it confirms that planets orbiting two stars -- called circumbinary planets -- do exist, and we see more emerging from our data. Working on the Kepler-16b announcement was especially unique, since we had a chance to collaborate with Lucasfilm’s Industrial Light and Magic for the press conference. Flight segment operations with the spacecraft have remained nominal. Routine operations are good for our mission operations team, as we have completed science data collection for quarter 10 and rolled the spacecraft into its Fall season attitude. This was the second full quarter in a row with no significant anomalies or unplanned science breaks.
