New Horizons coupe l'orbite d'Uranus le 18 mars 2011, mais cette planète ne peut être observée, car elle se trouve à 3,8 milliards de kilomètres de la sonde spatiale [54]. Le 25 août 2014, la NASA annonce que New Horizons a passé l'orbite de Neptune [55], 25 ans tout juste après le survol de la géante bleue par Voyager 2 (25 août 1989).
15 de ene. de 2015 · NASA. NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft recently began its long-awaited, historic encounter with Pluto. The spacecraft is entering the first of several approach phases that culminate July 14 with the first close-up flyby of the dwarf planet, 4.67 billion miles (7.5 billion kilometers) from Earth. “NASA’s first mission to distant Pluto will ...

New Horizons has used its Long Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) to observe a number of Kuiper Belt objects (KBO s) and dwarf planets at unique phase angles. The spacecraft has also provided images of centaurs (objects similar in size to asteroids, but similar in composition to comets) at extremely high phase angles to search for forward-scattering rings or dust.
15 de jul. de 2015 · Icy mountains on Pluto and a new, crisp view of its largest moon, Charon, are among the several discoveries announced Wednesday by NASA’s New Horizons team, just one day after the spacecraft’s first ever Pluto flyby. “Pluto New Horizons is a true mission of exploration showing us why basic scientific research is so important,” said John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for NASA’s ...
