The Kepler Users' Panel (KUP) has been established to evaluate and monitor the performance of Kepler as a resource and facility for the scientific community.
While the panel has been chosen to represent a range of users, institutions, and viewpoints, it is not complete. The Kepler Users' Panel requests that Kepler users in the community contact them with comments, compliments, suggestions, and criticisms that they will relay to the Kepler Operations Center and NASA HQ.
At all times through Kepler's operational phases, the KUP will comment to the mission on policies affecting users, including science utilization policies, Kepler data analysis, awards administration and scientific culture.
KUP Reports
The Kepler Users' Panel provides reports to the Kepler Program Scientist at NASA HQ, the Project Scientist, and the Kepler Science and Guest Observer Offices.
