• Scientists thinks Pluto’s atmosphere will “Freeze out” so the team want to arrive while there is still a chance to “see” a thicker atmosphere
• The team leader of New Horizons is Jeff Moore
• The Principal is Alan Stern
• New Horizons saw bolder size clumps speeding though Jupiter’s faint rings
• The structure inside volcanic eruptions on Jupiter’s moon lo
• New horizons got a picture of two moons crescents and volcanic

• New Horizons saw bolder size clumps speeding though Jupiter’s faint rings
• The structure inside volcanic eruptions on Jupiter’s moon lo
• New horizons got a picture of two moons crescents and volcanic
• New Horizons found lightning near Jupiter’s poles
• Passed Jupiter on February 28, 2007
• On November 12 a cosmic ray or some other kind of charged particle caused the main computer to reboot
• Their engineering team is trying to find out why something keeps rebooting the main computer
• New Horizons has covered more than 80% of the distance from the sun to Saturn’s orbit
• New Horizons will pass Saturn’s orbit in 2008
• They want to finish the Pluto planning before Jupiter’s encounter team members move on to other projects
• They will recalibrate their instrument several times as New Horizons flies to the Pluto system
• Budget constraints will force them to slim down the team in mid-2009
• Since 1989 Pluto has been moving farther from the sun getting less heat every year
• New Horizons plans to land on Pluto 2015
• New Horizons still has over 2700 days until it gets to Pluto
