Charlie Sobek, Kepler Mission Deputy Project Manager: \"The tapestry of everything that goes on in the Kepler. It #39;s really a team mission. It #39;s an enormous number of people who come together to make this kind of mission happen.\" In April of this year, NASA awarded the Kepler mission up to four more years of funding, allowing the telescope to continue its planetary census and to help scientists better understand solar system and planetary formation.From:okrajoeViews:0 0ratingsTime:00:42More inScience Technology
