New Horizons
New Horizons remains healthy and on course for its prime Pluto system science in July! As I write these words I am flying to a dress-rehearsal simulation (called a "sim") of the closest approach portion of the Pluto flyby. About 40 science team members are involved-atmospheric scientists, geologists, geochemists, planetary astronomers and space physics experts.
