with 

Dr. Henry Throop

Abstract: NASA’s New Horizons Mission to Pluto and Beyond

 After a nine-year journey through space, astronomers visited Pluto for the first time in July 2015, using a robotic NASA spacecraft called New Horizons. Despite being a cold and small icy body, New Horizons found Pluto’s surface to be young, dynamic, and varied. Planetary Scientist Dr. Henry Throop  will tell the story of this NASA spacecraft mission, from its development and  construction, through launch in 2006, to its successful encounter with Pluto,  and plans for onward encounters with bodies in the distant Kuiper Belt.
