The transiting Neptune-mass extrasolar planet HAT-P-11b in the Kepler field was discovered by the ground-based HAT survey (Bakos et al. 2009), with additional evidence for a possible massive second planet. The host star shows activity, rotational modulation, and possibly an activity cycle, but the ground-based photometry is inadequate to confirm and characterize them. This hinders better understanding of the planetary system. The Kepler photometric light curve obtained over a period of 45 days is used to measure the rotational modulation and the effect of spots on the fit to the transits. Prospects for improving the planetary parameters and measuring the secondary eclipse are discussed. Kepler was selected as the 10th mission of the Discovery Program. Funding for this mission is provided by NASA, Science Mission Directorate.
