Abstract
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. 

The K2 Data Search Service provides the main catalog for all K2 data.
