Update on NASA’s New Horizons Mission: Kuiper Belt Science Results and Future Plans Open
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft continues to explore the Kuiper belt after its historic close flybys of the Pluto system in 2015 at ~33 astronomical units (AU) [1] and the cold classical Kuiper belt object (KBO) Arrokoth in 2019 at ~43 AU […
