In fact, the mission. Previous missions had the spacecraft transmit through the atmosphere, to Earth ("downlink"). Tradues em contexto de "nave espacial "New Horizons" en portugus-ingls da Reverso Context : A 14 de Julho de 2015, a nave espacial "New Horizons" passou por Pluto, fornecendo inmeros dados como imagens, espectroscopia e informaes "in situ" que alteraram dramaticamente o nosso conhecimento sobre Pluto e o seu sistema de cinco luas. A thirteen-minute short film about the VBSDC garnered an Emmy Award for student achievement in 2006.[77]. The "primary objectives" were required. Previous flights had used zero, two, or three solid boosters, but never five. [187][188], The dwarf planet Haumea was observed from afar by the New Horizons spacecraft in October 2007, January 2017, and May 2020, from distances of 49AU, 59AU, and 63AU, respectively. In addition to the high-gain antenna, there are two backup low-gain antennas and a medium-gain dish. [215][216] This depends on a suitable Kuiper belt object being found or confirmed close enough to the spacecraft's current trajectory. The Little Red Spot, spanning up to 70% of Earth's diameter, was imaged from up close for the first time. It was the fastest (average speed with respect to Earth) man-made object ever launched from Earth. [132] The object would be too distant to resolve surface features or take spectroscopy, but it would be able to make observations that cannot be made from Earth, namely a phase curve and a search for small moons. The results resolved Pluto's diameter (by their timing) and atmospheric density and composition (by their weakening and strengthening pattern). [133], On July 4, 2015, New Horizons experienced a software anomaly and went into safe mode, preventing the spacecraft from performing scientific observations until engineers could resolve the problem. They entered orbits that took them closer to the Sun than. [89] Further trajectory maneuvers were not needed until September 25, 2007 (seven months after the Jupiter flyby), when the engines were fired for 15minutes and 37seconds, changing the spacecraft's velocity by 2.37m/s (8.5km/h; 5.3mph),[90] followed by another TCM, almost three years later on June 30, 2010, that lasted 35.6seconds, when New Horizons had already reached the halfway point (in time traveled) to Pluto. Images taken during the spacecraft's approach which brought New Horizons to within just 2,200 miles (3,500 kilometers) of Ultima at 12:33 a.m. EST revealed that the Kuiper Belt object may have a shape similar to a bowling pin, spinning end over end, with dimensions of approximately 20 by 10 miles (32 by 16 kilometers).

[102] Recording from different angles and illumination conditions, New Horizons took detailed images of Jupiter's faint ring system, discovering debris left over from recent collisions within the rings or from other unexplained phenomena. The command and data handling software was updated to address the problem of computer resets. At present, not only is Voyager 1 . The cameras determined their positions, acting as "reverse optical navigation". [156][157][needs update], On November 2, 2015, New Horizons imaged KBO 15810 Arawn with the LORRI instrument from 280millionkm away (170millionmi; 1.9AU). Data storage is done on two low-power solid-state recorders (one primary, one backup) holding up to 8gigabytes each. [103], One of the main goals during the Jupiter encounter was observing its atmospheric conditions and analyzing the structure and composition of its clouds. After the spacecraft passed Arrokoth, the instruments continue to have enough power to be operational until the 2030s. [19][20] In August 2018, NASA cited results by Alice on New Horizons to confirm the existence of a "hydrogen wall" at the outer edges of the Solar System. For other uses, see, Pluto's Charon-facing opposing hemisphere viewed on July 11, 2015, Distant view of Cape Canaveral during the launch of, Pluto Energetic Particle Spectrometer Science Investigation (PEPSSI), Venetia Burney Student Dust Counter (VBSDC), In-flight tests and crossing of Mars orbit.

[170] The initial estimated probabilities that these objects were reachable within New Horizons' fuel budget were 100%, 7%, and 97%, respectively. [195], The new mission began on October 22, 2015, when New Horizons carried out the first in a series of four initial targeting maneuvers designed to send it towards Arrokoth. The amount of radioactive plutonium in the RTG is about one-third the amount on board the CassiniHuygens probe when it launched in 1997. [217], New Horizons may also take a picture of Earth from its distance in the Kuiper belt, but only after completing all planned KBO flybys. ET on .

The craft had a communication rate of 38kbit/s at Jupiter; at Pluto's distance, a rate of approximately 1kbit/s per transmitter was expected. All objects had estimated diameters in the 3055km (1934mi) range and were too small to be seen by ground telescopes. Instead, SWAP and PEPSSI could indirectly detect magnetic fields around Pluto. The New Horizons spacecraft launched on January 19, 2006 - beginning its odyssey to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. Mission managers estimated a one in 10,000 chance that debris could have destroyed the probe or its communication-systems during the flyby, preventing it from sending data to Earth. This Alice instrument is derived from another Alice aboard ESA's Rosetta spacecraft.
