8 April, 2017 Pluto, New Horizons Mission
The new horizon mission one of the great missions of NASA. This mission started in 2006 on 19th January. The goal behind this mission was to understand about the Pluto and the formation of it. Beside this, another goal was known about the Kuiper belt, as well as the transformation of the Solar System in early age. During this mission the spacecraft on spaces will collect information and some data on the interiors, surfaces, atmospheres and environments of the plant and its moon around it. Also, in the Kuiper belt this spacecraft will study some objects. If I compare the data wound collected, …show more content…
it would be 5000 times more data collected from only Pluto as the mariner programs did by the red Planet. This mission will answer some important question that NASA been waiting to get answers. Question how the behavior of the Pluto atmosphere and how everything made? Is there any large or small geological structure exist? Also, how the atmosphere of Pluto particles interacts with the solar wind?. Those questions will be answered after the mission complete. In 2007, this spacecraft past the Jupiter for some studies. In summer 2015 it started journey to explore and study the Pluto planet and its moon. In 2015, on July 14th was the Pluto nearby approach. It is a long mission to the universe and, as the part of this mission was extended for exploring farther more this spacecraft into Kuiper belt. There were in the vast region huge icy mini world about one billion miles further from the Neptune path.
The New Horizons collect data and send all data back to the earth.
But takes about 15 months to come to the earth. The NASA said this data transfer process always will be slow. The NASA team said that the New Horizons can store as much as data and information about Pluto planet and its moon. From this mission the flyby process will last from the month September, 2018 through the January 2019. After that it will probably take 20 months to beam the flyby data to the home. About half of the flyby data and information has come from the New Horizons mission to the earth. NASA people believe that all of the data and information will be home by November month. This New Horizons will also gather information and data from Kuiper Belt objects and it will be looking for some ring around it from the year 2016 though the year 2020. From this spacecraft there will be study continue on some of the important things like gas, plasma and dust in the Kuiper belt.
Currently New Horizons mission spacecraft is heading to the next target, which is the object of Kuiper belt named 2014 MU69. It’ almost half way from this object, NASA said. If everything works fine without any problems they believe that the New Horizons will get there on January 1. From the last update the spacecraft is now 782.45 million kms away from the destination to 2014 MU69. It would be the record for the NASA to explore the most far-away world ever and will be a history of the civilization. This mission will help further generation to understand better and better knowledge about our solar
system.
