- In NASA'a second televised briefings on Tuesday, April 14, plans and upcoming activities about the agency’s mission to Pluto that will make the first-ever close flyby of the dwarf planet on July 14 were briefed.
Briefers described the mission’s goals and context, scientific objectives and encounter plans - including what images can be expected and when.
New Horizons already has covered more than 3 billion miles since it launched on Jan. 19, 2006. The spacecraft will pass Pluto at a speed of 31,000 mph taking thousands of images and making a wide range of science observations. At a distance of nearly 4 billion miles from Earth at flyby, it will take approximately 4.5 hours for data to reach Earth.
Participants for the 2:20-3:30 p.m. discussion were:
James Green, director of Planetary Science, NASA Headquarters
Glen Fountain, New Horizons Project Manager, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Maryland
Hal Weaver, New Horizons Project Scientist, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Maryland
Alan Stern, New Horizons Principal Investigator, Southwest Research Institute, Boulder, Colorado
I'm so glad to be alive for this piece of history.
This fellow at 19:00 minutes in is so concise thorough in his stating and accounting for the risks. Simplifying by organization and preparation the chance of success into steps. I get the impression that few others, if any one else could do better.
I enjoyed listening to the planing and considerations that were involved.
+will motill Alan Stern has been the driving force of this mission from the time it was a simple idea. I can't wait to read the book he is writing because his explanations are so clear and understandable.
32:00 - about 37 is where it really got me excited. Good stuff...
Wow that's so exciting
Ive been waiting so many years but its finally getting close
they should take help from cutie axel becuase he is a rocket scientist and his rockets are faster than these stupid jobbers..
NASA sucks..cutie axel is a pg legend and a rocket scientist
Nasa is a Fake rip off our PG WWE
An excellent presentation by an excellent panel. The presentation was very informative. Thank you.
Astronomic is very interesting
congratulation this is amazing thanks
I can't believe these people show there faces we know your names and everything about you. Do you actually sleep at night we know your game
I wonder how dirty the satellite is now. Would it be clean because of the vacuum, or would it be littered with dust or rock? Sorry, kinda off topic.
theandroid22051 There is certainly some "weathering" simply due to exposure to solar radiation and solar winds. There are likely some minor dust impacts, but it isn't going to be "dirty" in the sense that your shoes get dirty from walking around.
I gotta do math to see how long it would take to receive the pictures. Over 9 hours obviously if Pluto is 9 light hours away.
When will Horizon take the first photo of Pluto ?
David Rocha should be anytime now
June 15 2015
David Rocha Probably it can send back image of Pluto now as a small dot :)
David Rocha See www.nasa.gov/content/first-pluto-charon-color-image-from-new-horizons for the first colour image of Pluto and Charon by New Horizons, taken on April 9, 2015.
18:00 real/simulations
well spent funds. Polititians need to know NASA got thier stuff together
Lickspittle springs to mind
these liars should be put on trial for the extortion racket they promote
Fear about Nibiru?Falsehood missions...paranoia:)
Leave this planet! Doesn't mean we all need to go but it's a step towards surviving as a species. We will for surely always have problems on earth but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have a space program. We will eventually over populate and maybe earth could just be the blueprint of our potential!!! Maybe we will find another life sustaining planet and we can learn to inhabit more than one planet. Awesome to just think about never mind one day actually doing it. Anyone who thinks we shouldn't do this is just holding back the true human potential and spirt because of being scared or religious purposes. I say any God that would put this all before us just to tease us when we for surely have and will have the capability of the traveling to distant planets someday would be a god I'm not so sure about. If God exists he would want us to always seek the truth and what better way than to explore and seek out into uncharted space!
Dear God, have you got some waking up to do, if you are actually a real person...I literally laugh at all these excited positive filtered comments....like sure mine will be.
