The Kepler Mission was launched on 2009 March 6, to undertake a search for Earth-size planets orbiting in the habitable zones of stars similar to the Sun. Kepler uses the transit photometry approach for this task (Borucki et al. 2010a). Kepler s commissioning process went very well and the system provides data of exceptional photometric quality (Koch et al. 2010a). Indeed, the final commissioning data, 9.7 days of science-like observations of 50,000 stars selected from the Kepler Input Catalog (KIC;Koch et al. 2010a), were of such high quality that they are now commonly, if incorrectly, referred to as the quarter 0 data.
