Pluto Ten Years Flyght

New Horizons is a NASA unmanned mission to fly by Pluto and its moons.
New Horizons was successfully launched on January 19, 2006. It is expected to arrive at Pluto in 2015.
The New Horizons spacecraft was launched directly into an Earth- and solar-escape trajectory. It had an Earth-relative velocity of about 16.21 km/s (36,300 mph) just after its last engine shut down, making it the fastest spacecraft launch ever.
New Horizons is the first mission in NASA’s New Frontiers mission category, larger and more expensive than Discovery missions but smaller than “flagship” programs.
