New Horizons

New Horizons is an interplanetary space probe that was launched as a part of NASA's New Frontiers program. Engineered by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) and the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), with a team led by S. Alan Stern, the spacecraft was launched with the primary mission to perform a flyby study of the Pluto system, and a secondary mission to fly by and study one or more other Kuiper belt objects (KBOs).

On January 19, 2006, New Horizons was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station directly into an Earth-and-solar escape trajectory with a speed of about 16.26 kilometers per second (58,536 km/h; 36,373 mph). After a brief encounter with asteroid 132524 APL, New Horizons proceeded to Jupiter, making its closest approach on February 28, 2007, at a distance of 2.3 million kilometers (1.4 million miles). The Jupiter flyby provided a gravity assist that increased New Horizons' speed; the flyby also enabled a general test of New Horizons' scientific capabilities, returning data about the planet's atmosphere, moons, and magnetosphere.

New Horizons 2

New Horizons 2 (also New Horizons II, NHII, or NH2) was a proposed mission to the trans-Neptunian objects by NASA. It was conceived as a planetary flyby mission in 2002. In March 2005, the proposal was not selected for further development because of a shortage of plutonium-238 needed for the radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG).

Description

New Horizons 2 was included in the tentative budget for the New Horizons missions. In 2004 the United States Senate Appropriations Committee provided additional funding for New Horizons 2, a new Kuiper belt mission. As early as 2004 there was a conference on how to make the most use of New Horizons 2's Uranus flyby.

Candidate targets included 1999 TC36, a system that, like Pluto–Charon, contains multiple bodies. The mission plan for 1999 TC36 also included flybys of Jupiter and Uranus, and perhaps four Kuiper belt objects (KBO). There was a lot of flexibility: even without a gravity assist any KBO within 50 AU and a 20-year flight time was possible. A flyby of Neptune's Triton was also considered, with 66652 Borasisi as a potential follow on.2002 UX25 was also considered to be visited, having a similar flight plan as 1999 TC36.

    New Horizons

    by: Flyleaf

    So you're tired but you're alive
    So open up your eyes
    And you can get your sleep when you are dead
    Kill the clock inside your head
    Bring your normalcy to the edge
    And watch it drown in new horizons
    New horizons
    You said I'd only have to wait until I died
    And that's in no time
    How did you come to think
    That this was funny
    Cheering and laughing at the dying
    While we're riding the light in you
    Chorus:
    Wait
    You said I'd only have to wait until I die
    (New horizons)
    There is no such thing as time
    Inside this moment no sunrising
    Wait until I fly
    (New horizons)
    Wait until I fly
    (New horizons)
    Bridge:
    Sin with a conquest
    Life floods in with a new quest
    Here's a voice for the voiceless
    And a song for the soulless
    Life floods in
    *Chorus*
    When the times keep going wrong and we go right
    When the times keep going wrong and we go right
    *Chorus*
    When the times keep going wrong and we go right
