itsfullofstars: New Horizons now closer to Pluto than Earth. NASA’s probe passed the halfway mark in the number of days from launch to Pluto encounter on Sunday. The mark was reached at 3:24 UT on October 17, and this means that the spacecraft now has fewer days of flight ahead and it does behind. It is scheduled to arrive at Pluto in 2015. Another important milestone that was achieved recently – on July 30 – was the successful completion of the fourth annual checkout (ACO) phase. Once this was done, the probe was put back in hibernation. The next wake-up call will be sent to New Horizons on November 9, and the ground control team will then wait patiently until the probe responds. The delay in communications is now at 5 hours.
