Destination Innovation is a new series that explores the research, science and projects at the NASA Ames Research Center. Episode 1 focuses on the Kepler Mission, a space telescope that is surveying planets outside our Solar System. The Mission focus on the Cygnus-Lyra region of the Milky Way. There is a special interest in planets that orbit in a star's habitable zone, where liquid water and life might exist on the surface. The aim is to discover if there are other worlds like ours or if we are alone? In our solar system three planets exist in the habitable zone of the sun: Mars, Venus and Earth.
