‎Crew of Space Shuttle Mission STS-135 NASA Photograph; LG-2011-03-009-JSC‎

‎Houston TX: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Johnson Space Center 2011. Presumed First Edition First printing of multiple originals. Single sheet printed on both sides. Very good. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. This is a single sheet with printing/imagery on both sides in a plastic sleeve. On the front side is a large color photograph of the four astronauts/Shuttle Crew members. On the other side are primarily four columns of text one column for each of the crew members with a small one-column spread with a picture of the four crew members at the top left corner and a larger two-column spread with an illustration of the STS-135 Mission Patch and a text description. The four crew members were Commander Christopher J. Ferguson Captain United States Navy ret. Pilot Douglas G. Hurley Colonel U.S. Marine Corps Mission Specialist Sandra H. Magnus Ph.D. and Mission Specialist Rex J. Wallheim Colonel U.S. Air Force ret. The STS-135 patch represent the Space Shuttle embarking on its mission to resupply the International Space Station. The Shuttle is centered over elements of the NASA emblem depicting how the Space Shuttle has been at the heart of NASA for the previous 30 years. The Patch also pays tribute to the entire NASA and contractor team that made possible all the incredible accomplishments of the Space Shuttle. Omega the last letter in the Greek alphabet signifies that this mission is the last flight of the Space Shuttle Program. STS-135 ISS assembly flight ULF7 was the 135th and final mission of the American Space Shuttle program. It used the orbiter Atlantis and hardware originally processed for the STS-335 contingency mission which was not flown. STS-135 launched on July 8 2011 and landed on July 21 2011 following a one-day mission extension. The four-person crew was the smallest of any shuttle mission since STS-6 in April 1983. The mission's primary cargo was the Multi-Purpose Logistics Module MPLM Raffaello and a Lightweight Multi-Purpose Carrier LMC which were delivered to the International Space Station ISS. The flight of Raffaello marked the only time that Atlantis carried an MPLM. Although the mission was authorized it initially had no appropriation in the NASA budget raising questions about whether the mission would fly. On January 20 2011 program managers changed STS-335 to STS-135 on the flight manifest. This allowed for training and other mission specific preparations. On February 13 2011 program managers told their workforce that STS-135 would fly regardless of the funding situation via a continuing resolution. Until this point there had been no official references to the STS-135 mission in NASA documentation for the general public. During an address at the Marshall Space Flight Center on November 16 2010 NASA administrator Charles Bolden said that the agency needed to fly STS-135 to the station in 2011 due to possible delays in the development of commercial rockets and spacecraft designed to transport cargo to the ISS. "We are hoping to fly a third shuttle mission in addition to STS-133 and STS-134 in June 2011 what everybody calls the launch-on-need mission. and that's really needed to buy down the risk for the development time for commercial cargo" Bolden said. The mission was included in NASA's 2011 authorization which was signed into law on October 11 2010 but funding remained dependent on a subsequent appropriations bill. United Space Alliance signed a contract extension for the mission along with STS-134; the contract contained six one-month options with NASA in order to support continuing operations. The federal budget approved in April 2011 called for US$5.5 billion for NASA's space operations division including the shuttle and space station programs. According to NASA the budget running through September 30 2011 ended all concerns about funding the STS-135 mission. The reduced crew size also allowed the mission to maximize the payload carried to the ISS.20 It was the only time that a Shuttle crew of four flew to the ISS. The last shuttle mission to fly with just four crew members occurred 28 years earlier. The Multi-Purpose Logistics Module MPLM Raffaello made up the majority of the payload. This was Raffaello's fourth trip to the International Space Station since 2001 and the 12th use of an MPLM. Unlike previous MPLM missions that delivered large compartments and devices to outfit the space station laboratories STS-135 delivered only bags and supply containers. The MPLM was filled with 16 resupply racks which is the maximum that it could handle. Eight Resupply Stowage Platforms RSPs two Integrated Stowage Platforms ISPs six Resupply Stowage Racks RSRs and one Zero-G Stowage Rack ZSR which sits above another rack during transport. On flight day 4 Raffaello was lifted out of Atlantis's payload bay using the station's Canadarm2. It was berthed to nadir port of the Harmony node. After completing the cargo transfers to the ISS Raffaello was loaded with almost 5700 pounds of unneeded equipment and station waste to be brought back to Earth. On flight day 11 the MPLM was detached from Harmony and was secured in the cargo bay of the shuttle. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Johnson Space Center unknown‎

‎Crew of Space Shuttle Mission STS-133 NASA Photograph; LG-2010-08-024-JSC‎

‎Houston TX: National Astronautics and Space Administration Johnson Space Center 2010. Presumed First Edition First printing. This is one of multiple originals issued. Single sheet printed on both sides. Very good. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. This is a single sheet with printing/imagery on both sides in a plastic sleeve. On the front side is a large color photograph of the six members of the Crew of Space Shuttle Mission STS-133. On the other side there are four columns. At the top of the left column is a small photograph of the crew with last names present. At the bottom of the right two columns is a description of the STS-133 mission patch. The crew members were Commander Steven W. Lindsey Colonel USAF RET. Pilot Eric A. Boe Colonel USAF Specialist Benjamin Alvin Drew Jr. Colonel USAF Specialist Timothy L. Kopra Colonel USA Specialist Michael R. Barratt M.D and Specialist Nicole Passonne Stott. Tim Kopra was injured and was replaced by Stephen Bowen--making this photograph a rarity. In the foreground a solitary orbiter ascends into a dark blue sky above a roiling fiery plume. A spray of stars surrounds the orbiter and a top lit crescent forms the background behind the ascent. The mission number STS-133 is emblazoned on the patch center and crewmembers' names are listed on a sky-blue border around the scene. The Shuttle Discovery is depicted ascending on a plume of flame as if it is just beginning a mission. However it is just the orbiter as it would be at mission's end. This is to signify Discovery's completion of its operational life and the beginning of its new role as a symbol of NASA's and the nation's proud legacy in human spaceflight. The Shuttle Discovery is depicted ascending on a plume of flame as if it is just beginning a mission. However it is just the orbiter without boosters or an external tank as it would be at mission's end. This is to signify Discovery's completion of its operational life and the beginning of its new role as a symbol of NASA's and the nation's proud legacy in human spaceflight. STS-133 ISS assembly flight ULF5 was the 133rd mission in NASA's Space Shuttle program; during the mission Space Shuttle Discovery docked with the International Space Station. It was Discovery's 39th and final mission. The mission launched on February 24 2011 and landed on March 9 2011. The crew consisted of six American astronauts all of whom had been on prior spaceflights headed by Commander Steven Lindsey. The crew joined the long-duration six person crew of Expedition 26 who were already aboard the space station. About a month before lift-off one of the original crew members Tim Kopra was injured in a bicycle accident. He was replaced by Stephen Bowen. The mission transported several items to the space station including the Permanent Multipurpose Module Leonardo which was left permanently docked to one of the station's ports. The shuttle also carried the third of four ExPRESS Logistics Carriers to the ISS as well as a humanoid robot called Robonaut. The mission marked both the 133rd flight of the Space Shuttle program and the 39th and final flight of Discovery with the orbiter completing a cumulative total of a whole year 365 days in space. The mission was affected by a series of delays due to technical problems with the external tank and to a lesser extent the payload. The launch initially scheduled for September 2010 was pushed back to October then to November then finally to February 2011. The mission commander Steven Lindsey handed over his position as Chief of the Astronaut Office position to Peggy Whitson in order to lead the mission. For the first time two mission crew members were in space when a crew assignment announcement was made as Nicole Stott and Michael Barratt were aboard the ISS as part of the Expedition 20 crew. During STS-133 Alvin Drew became the last African-American astronaut to fly on the Space Shuttle as no African-Americans were among the crews of STS-134 and STS-135. Having flown onboard Atlantis' STS-132 mission Bowen became the first and the only NASA astronaut to be launched on two consecutive missions until Doug Hurley launched aboard Crew Dragon Demo-2 in May 2020 after having previously launched on STS-135.

‎Crew of Space Shuttle Mission STS-114 NASA Photograph; LG-2004-06-013-JSC‎

‎Houston TX: National Aeronautics and Space Administration Johnson Space Center 2004. Presumed First Edition First printing one of multiple originals. Single sheet printed on both sides. Very good. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. This is a single sheet with printing/imagery on both sides in a plastic sleeve. On the front side is a large color photograph of the seven astronauts/Shuttle Crew members. On the other side are primarily four columns of text with text for each of the crew members with a small two-column spread with a outline with names of the seven crew members at the top center and a half-column spread at the bottom of the fourth column with an illustration of the STS-114 Mission Patch and a text description. The STS-114 patch signifies the return of the Space Shuttle to flight and honors the memory of the STS-107 Columbia crew. The Shuttle rising above Earth's horizon includes the Columbia constellation of seven stars echoing the STS-107 patch and commemorating the seven members of that mission. The crew of STS-114 carry the memory of their mission back into Earth orbit. The dominant design element of the STS-114 patch is the planet Earth which represents the unity and dedication of the many people whose efforts allow the Shuttle to safely return to flight. Against the background of the Earth at night the blue orbit represents the International Space Station ISS with the EVA crewmembers named on the orbit. The red sun on the orbit signifies the contributions of the Japanese Space Agency to the mission and to the ISS program. The multi-colored Shuttle plume represents the broad spectrum of challenges for this mission including Shuttle inspection and repair experiments and International Space Station re-supply and repair. STS-114 was the first "Return to Flight" Space Shuttle mission following the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. The crew members were Commander Eileen M. Collins Colonel USAF Pilot James M. Kelly Lieutenant Colonel USAF Mission Specialist Soichi Noguchi JAXA Astronaut Mission Specialist Stephen K. Robinson Ph.D. Mission Specialist Andrew S. W. Thomas Ph.D. Mission Specialist Wendy B Lawrence Captain USN and Mission Specialist Charles J. Camarda Ph.D. Discovery launched at 10:39 EDT 14:39 UTC July 26 2005. The launch 907 days approx. 29 months after the loss of Columbia was approved despite unresolved fuel sensor anomalies in the external tank that had prevented the shuttle from launching on July 13 its originally scheduled date. The mission ended on August 9 2005 when Discovery landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California.2 Poor weather over the Kennedy Space Center in Florida hampered the shuttle from using its primary landing site. Analysis of the launch footage showed debris separating from the external tank during ascent; this was of particular concern because it was the issue that had set off the Columbia disaster. As a result NASA decided on July 27 to postpone future shuttle flights pending additional modifications to the flight hardware. Shuttle flights resumed a year later with STS-121 on July 4 2006. STS-114 marked the return to flight of the Space Shuttle after the Columbia disaster and was the second Shuttle flight with a female commander Eileen Collins who also commanded the STS-93 mission. The STS-114 mission was initially to be flown aboard the orbiter Atlantis but NASA replaced it with Discovery after improperly installed gear was found in Atlantis' Rudder Speed Brake system. During OMM for Discovery an actuator on the RSB system was found to be installed incorrectly. This created a fleet wide suspect condition. The Rudder Speed Brake system was removed and refurbished on all three remaining orbiter vehicles and since Discovery's RSB was corrected first it became the new Return to Flight vehicle superseding Atlantis. Seventeen years prior Discovery had flown NASA's previous Return to Flight mission STS-26. The STS-114 mission delivered supplies to the International Space Station. However the major focus of the mission was testing and evaluating new Space Shuttle flight safety techniques which included new inspection and repair techniques. The crewmembers used the new Orbiter Boom Sensor System OBSS - a set of instruments on a 50 feet extension attached to the Canadarm. The OBSS instrument package consists of visual imaging equipment and a Laser Dynamic Range Imager LDRI to detect problems with the shuttle's Thermal Protection System TPS. The crew scanned the leading edges of the wings the nose cap and the crew compartment for damage as well as other potential problem areas engineers wished to inspect based on video taken during lift-off. STS-114 was classified as Logistics Flight 1. The flight carried the Raffaello Multi-Purpose Logistics Module built by the Italian Space Agency as well as the External Stowage Platform-2 which was mounted to the port side of the Quest Airlock. They deployed MISSE 5 to the station's exterior and replaced one of the ISS's Control Moment Gyroscopes CMG. The CMG was carried up on the LMC Lightweight Multi-Purpose Experiment Support Structure Carrier at the rear of the payload bay together with the TPS Repair Box.

‎Expedition 20 Patch Description Title from verso side; XX text on logo side‎

‎Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration c2008. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Single sheet sticker of mission logo patch printed on both sides. Very good. Format is a circle with a diameter of approximately 3.75 inches. Front is a colorful image of a spacecraft with a launch trajectory to a star and a large XX at the base. The top of the image has a red gray and blue arc. The text on the back reads: Expedition 20 Patch Description The Expedition 20 patch symbolized a new era in space exploration with the first six-person crew living and working onboard the International Space Station ISS and represents the significance of the ISS to the exploration goals of NASA and its international partners. The six gold start signify the men and women of the crew. The astronaut symbol extends from the base of the patch to the stat as the top to represent the international team both on the ground and on orbit that are working together to further our knowledge of living and working in space. The space station in the foreground represents where we are now and the important role it is playing toward meeting our exploration goals. The knowledge and expertise developed from these advancements will enable us to once again leave low-Earth orbit for the new challenges of establishing a permanent presence on the Moon and then on to Mars. The blue gray and red arcs represent our exploration goals as symbols of the Earth Moon and Mars. Logos of NASA ad Space Flight Awareness are present as is information on an on-line resource. Expedition 20 was the 20th long-duration flight to the International Space Station. The expedition marked the first time a six-member crew inhabited the station. Because each Soyuz-TMA spacecraft could hold only three people two separate launches were necessary: Soyuz TMA-14 launched on 26 March 2009 and Soyuz TMA-15 followed on 27 May 2009. Soyuz TMA-15 launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome at 10:34 UTC on 27 May 2009. The vehicle docked with the station on 29 May 2009 officially changing the Soyuz TMA-14 crew from Expedition 19 to Expedition 20. Gennady Padalka was the first commander of a six-member station crew and the first commander of two consecutive expeditions Expedition 19 and 20. Nicole Stott was the final expedition astronaut to be launched on the shuttle. <br /> During the expedition Koichi Wakata performed a special experiment wherein he did not change his underpants for one month in order to test a specially-designed underwear without washing or changing; he reportedly did not develop body odor due to the effects of the special garment. The station would not be permanently occupied by six crew members all year. For example when the Expedition 20 crew Roman Romanenko Frank De Winne and Bob Thirsk returned to Earth in November 2009 for a period of about two weeks only two crew members Jeff Williams and Max Surayev were aboard. This increased to five in early December when Oleg Kotov Timothy Creamer and Soichi Noguchi arrived on Soyuz TMA-17. It decreased to three when Williams and Surayev departed in March 2010 and finally returned to six in April 2010 with the arrival of Soyuz TMA-18 carrying Aleksandr Skvortsov Mikhail Korniyenko and Tracy Caldwell Dyson.

The color image is of the full face of Frank Borman in business suitfrom mid-thigh up. He is standing next to a model of a launch vehicle/rocker. Across his chest he has inscribed the photograph as follows "To Randy! Frank Borman." The back of the photograph has identifying text and states in part: "FRANK BORMAN one of a group of 9 astronauts selected in September 1962 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administrations. It also states that this photograph is a government publication and not subject to copyright. Frank Frederick Borman II March 14 1928 – November 7 2023 was an American United States Air Force USAF colonel aeronautical engineer NASA astronaut test pilot and businessman. He was the commander of Apollo 8 the first mission to fly around the Moon and together with crewmates Jim Lovell and William Anders became the first of 24 humans to do so for which he was awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor. Four days before he graduated with the West Point Class of 1950 in which he was ranked eighth out of 670 Borman was commissioned in the USAF. He qualified as a fighter pilot and served in the Philippines. He earned a Master of Science degree at Caltech in 1957 and then became an assistant professor of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics at West Point. In 1960 he was selected for Class 60-C at the USAF Experimental Flight Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base in California and qualified as a test pilot. On graduation he was accepted as one of five students in the first class at the Aerospace Research Pilot School. Borman was selected as a NASA astronaut with the second group known as the Next Nine in 1962. In 1966 he set a fourteen-day spaceflight endurance record as commander of Gemini 7. He served on the NASA review board which investigated the Apollo 1 fire and then flew to the Moon with Apollo 8 in December 1968. The mission is known for the Earthrise photograph taken by Anders of the Earth rising above the lunar horizon as the Command/Service Module orbited the Moon and for the reading from Genesis which was televised to Earth from lunar orbit on Christmas Eve. During the Apollo 11 Moon landing mission he was the NASA liaison at the White House where he viewed the launch on television with President Richard Nixon. After retiring from NASA and the Air Force in 1970 Borman became senior vice president for operations at Eastern Air Lines. He became chief executive officer of Eastern in 1975 and chairman of the board in 1976. Under his leadership Eastern went through the four most profitable years in its history.

Each image back has text taped to it. Folder with multiple inserts The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is a research development and flight center owned by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and operated by the California Institute of Technology. JPL's primary responsibility is the investigation of the solar system with automated scientific spacecraft. The Laboratory's activities however are not limited to space exploration. The basic research and development in support of space exploration involves a broad spectrum of scientific and engineering disciplines; the resulting technological and managerial capabilities are finding increasing application to medical and environmental problems on earth especially in the area of solar energy research. To provide spacecraft tracking and communications for deep-space missions JPL designed developed and manages the Deep Space Network DSN with stations in California Spain and Australia. The twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are exploring where nothing from Earth has flown before. Continuing on their more-than-40-year journey since their 1977 launches they each are much farther away from Earth and the sun than Pluto. In August 2012 Voyager 1 made the historic entry into interstellar space the region between stars filled with material ejected by the death of nearby stars millions of years ago. Voyager 2 entered interstellar space on November 5 2018 and scientists hope to learn more about this region. Both spacecraft are still sending scientific information about their surroundings through the Deep Space Network or DSN. The primary mission was the exploration of Jupiter and Saturn. After making a string of discoveries there — such as active volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io and intricacies of Saturn's rings — the mission was extended.

‎Juno Launch; Press Kit August 2011‎

‎Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2011. Xerox-style reproduction. Presumed to be one of only a few copies made for media representatives. Stapled at upper left corner. Very good. 25 1 pages. Illustrations. Contents include Media Services Information; Quick Facts; Jupiter at a Glance; Why Juno; Mission Overview; Mission Phases; Spacecraft; Science Overview; Missions to Jupiter; and Program/Project Management. Juno is a NASA space probe orbiting the planet Jupiter. It was built by Lockheed Martin and is operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The spacecraft was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on August 5 2011 UTC as part of the New Frontiers program. Juno entered a polar orbit of Jupiter on July 5 2016 UTC to begin a scientific investigation of the planet. After completing its mission Juno will be intentionally deorbited into Jupiter's atmosphere. Juno's mission is to measure Jupiter's composition gravitational field magnetic field and polar magnetosphere. It will also search for clues about how the planet formed including whether it has a rocky core the amount of water present within the deep atmosphere mass distribution and its deep winds which can reach speeds up to 390 mph. Juno is the second spacecraft to orbit Jupiter after the nuclear powered Galileo orbiter which orbited from 1995 to 2003. Juno is powered by solar panels commonly used by satellites orbiting Earth and working in the inner Solar System whereas radioisotope thermoelectric generators are commonly used for missions to the outer Solar System and beyond. For Juno however the three largest solar panel wings ever deployed on a planetary probe play an integral role in stabilizing the spacecraft as well as generating power. During the science mission infrared and microwave instruments will measure the thermal radiation emanating from deep within Jupiter's atmosphere. These observations will complement previous studies of its composition by assessing the abundance and distribution of water and therefore oxygen. This data will provide insight into Jupiter's origins. Juno will also investigate the convection that drives natural circulation patterns in Jupiter's atmosphere. Other instruments aboard Juno will gather data about its gravitational field and polar magnetosphere. The Juno mission was planned to conclude in February 2018 after completing 37 orbits of Jupiter but now has been commissioned through 2025 to do a further 42 additional orbits of Jupiter as well as close flybys of Ganymede Europa and Io. The probe was then intended to be deorbited and burnt up in Jupiter's outer atmosphere to avoid any possibility of impact and biological contamination of one of its moons. The Juno spacecraft's suite of science instruments will: Determine the ratio of oxygen to hydrogen effectively measuring the abundance of water in Jupiter which will help distinguish among prevailing theories linking Jupiter's formation to the Solar System; Obtain a better estimate of Jupiter's core mass which will also help distinguish among prevailing theories linking Jupiter's formation to the Solar System; Precisely map Jupiter's gravitational field to assess the distribution of mass in Jupiter's interior including properties of its structure and dynamics; Precisely map Jupiter's magnetic field to assess the origin and structure of the field and the depth at which the planet's magnetic field is created. This experiment will also help scientists understand the fundamental physics of dynamo theory; Map the variation in atmospheric composition temperature structure cloud opacity and dynamics to pressures far greater than 100 bar 10 MPa; 1500 psi at all latitudes; Characterize and explore the three-dimensional structure of Jupiter's polar magnetosphere and auroras; and Measure the orbital frame-dragging known also as Lense-Thirring precession caused by the angular momentum of Jupiter and possibly a new test of general relativity effects connected with the Jovian rotation.

The John F. Kennedy Space Center KSC originally known as the NASA Launch Operations Center located on Merritt Island Florida is one of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's NASA ten field centers. Since December 1968 KSC has been NASA's primary launch center of human spaceflight. Launch operations for the Apollo Skylab and Space Shuttle programs were carried out from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39 and managed by KSC. Located on the east coast of Florida KSC is adjacent to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station CCSFS. The management of the two entities work very closely together share resources and operate facilities on each other's property. Though the first Apollo flights and all Project Mercury and Project Gemini flights took off from the then-Cape Canaveral Air Force Station the launches were managed by KSC and its previous organization the Launch Operations Directorate. Starting with the fourth Gemini mission the NASA launch control center in Florida Mercury Control Center later the Launch Control Center began handing off control of the vehicle to the Mission Control Center in Houston shortly after liftoff; in prior missions it held control throughout the entire mission. Additionally the center manages launch of robotic and commercial crew missions and researches food production and in-situ resource utilization for off-Earth exploration. Since 2010 the center has worked to become a multi-user spaceport through industry partnerships even adding a new launch pad LC-39C in 2015. There are about 700 facilities and buildings grouped throughout the center's 144000 acres. Among the unique facilities at KSC are the 525-foot tall Vehicle Assembly Building for stacking NASA's largest rockets the Launch Control Center which conducts space launches at KSC the Operations and Checkout Building which houses the astronauts dormitories and suit-up area a Space Station factory and a 3-mile long Shuttle Landing Facility. There is also a Visitor Complex on site that is open to the public. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Kennedy Space Center paperback‎

‎Kepler: NASA's First Mission Capable of Finding Earth-Size Planets; Press Kit February 2009‎

‎Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2009. Presumed First Edition First printing. Comb binding. Very good. 31 3 pages including covers. Contents include Media Services Information; Quick Facts; NASA's Search for Habitable Planets; Scientific Goals and Objectives; Mission Overview; Spacecraft; Instrument - Photometer; Selecting the Kepler Star Field; Education and Public Outreach; Other Exoplanet Activities; Science Team; and Project Management. The Kepler space telescope is a disused space telescope launched by NASA in 2009 to discover Earth-sized planets orbiting other stars. Named after astronomer Johannes Kepler the spacecraft was launched into an Earth-trailing heliocentric orbit. The principal investigator was William J. Borucki. After nine and a half years of operation the telescope's reaction control system fuel was depleted and NASA announced its retirement on October 30 2018.<br /> Designed to survey a portion of Earth's region of the Milky Way to discover Earth-size exoplanets in or near habitable zones and estimate how many of the billions of stars in the Milky Way have such planets Kepler's sole scientific instrument is a photometer that continually monitored the brightness of approximately 150000 main sequence stars in a fixed field of view. These data were transmitted to Earth then analyzed to detect periodic dimming caused by exoplanets that cross in front of their host star. Only planets whose orbits are seen edge-on from Earth could be detected. Kepler observed 530506 stars and detected 2778 confirmed planets as of June 16 2023. By January 2015 Kepler and its follow-up observations had found 1013 confirmed exoplanets in about 440 star systems along with a further 3199 unconfirmed planet candidates. Four planets have been confirmed through Kepler's K2 mission. In November 2013 astronomers estimated based on Kepler space mission data that there could be as many as 40 billion rocky Earth-size exoplanets orbiting in the habitable zones of Sun-like stars and red dwarfs within the Milky Way. It is estimated that 11 billion of these planets may be orbiting Sun-like stars. The nearest such planet may be 3.7 parsecs 12 ly away according to the scientists. On January 6 2015 NASA announced the 1000th confirmed exoplanet discovered by the Kepler space telescope. Four of the newly confirmed exoplanets were found to orbit within habitable zones of their related stars: three of the four Kepler-438b Kepler-442b and Kepler-452b are almost Earth-size and likely rocky; the fourth Kepler-440b is a super-Earth. On May 10 2016 NASA verified 1284 new exoplanets found by Kepler the single largest finding of planets to date. Kepler data has also helped scientists observe and understand supernovae; measurements were collected every half-hour so the light curves were especially useful for studying these types of astronomical events.
