Kepler continues to monitor the Cygnus-Lyrae region of the sky for Earth-size planets in the habitable zone of other stars. The Kepler Team successfully completed the third quarterly roll of the spacecraft and another monthly science data download over the Dec. 17-18 timeframe. All science data collected over the last month were successfully delivered to the Science Operations Center at NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif. About 110 Gigabytes of data was downloaded from last month’s observations. This roll of the spacecraft will position the spacecraft in its winter attitude. Kepler has now achieved observations in all four of its planned roll orientations. A roll maneuver is done four times annually, on a quarterly basis, to align the spacecraft’s solar panels toward the sun for the next season.
