Launched in 2009, the Kepler Mission is surveying a region of our galaxy to determine what fraction of stars \nin our galaxy have planets and measure the size distribution of those exoplanets. \nAlthough Kepler completed its primary mission to determine the fraction of stars that have planets in 2013, \nit is continuing the search, using a more limited survey mode, under the new name K2. \n\nThe K2 Ecliptic Plane Input Catalog is the primary source of information about \nobjects observed as potential targets for the K2 mission, as the Kepler Input Catalog was used for the original Kepler mission.
