will soon know of this audacious mission
has succeeded the New Horizons team is
made up of some of the world’s most
elite space scientists Halla Weaver
project scientists to see the face of
Pluto is gonna be astounding Fran
bagging all particles and plasma team we
have only a very very fuzzy glimpse of
Pluto right now Gabe Rogers guidance
team it’s a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity
Amanda’s and gari geology and geophysics
team I still don’t believe it’s real
mission leader Alan Stern has devoted 26
years to this project you can feel the
energy in the team we’re almost there to
get what we did all this for
New Horizons blasted off on its epic
voyage in 2006 the same year that
Twitter began it was the fastest
man-made object ever to leave the earth
a year later it whizzed past Jupiter
just as the first iPhone was launched
the team used the opportunity to test
new horizons cameras on Jupiter and her
moons grabbing some of the best pictures
ever of a volcano erupting in space
all through Oh 8 and oh nine it’s sped
silently through empty space as the
world descended into financial chaos
on and on towards tiny Pluto over three
billion miles away
a thousand pound masterpiece of
engineering the size of a grand piano
hurtling through the outer solar system
at ten times the speed of a bullet at 9
miles per second it’s moving so fast
that when it gets to Pluto it can’t land
during encounter it will attempt to
swoop over the surface taking the
critical photographs and measurements in
less than two hours
the encounter is so fleeting
Mission Control must guide the
spacecraft minute by minute this is a
bar 11 to put it exactly where it needs
to be we’re trying to basically figure
out exactly where the spacecraft is with
respect to those so that’s what we’re
doing right now up on the spacecraft
they’re getting new horizons to beam
back pictures of Pluto against the
surrounding stars which they use to
build a roadmap in space just like the
old sailors did back in the day that the
sextant they knew where certain stars
were at certain times of the day
therefore they knew where they were on
the planet where Pluto is with respect
to those stars we’re able to determine
where the spacecraft is with respect to
Pluto
we’re getting there you know almost a
million miles a day so we’re coming up
on the planet fast
