We did it!
The epic, first exploration of
Pluto and its moons by NASA's New Horizons mission was completed last
week, on Tuesday, July 14. And it captured the attention and
imaginations of people across America and the entire world.
New Horizons is truly an American-made product, and one we can all be
proud of. More than 2,500 Americans worked to design, build, launch,
and fly New Horizons.
This NASA-industry-academia
team included major partners at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics
Laboratory, the Southwest Research Institute, Ball Aerospace, Boeing,
Lockheed Martin, United Launch Alliance, KinetX Corporation, Aerojet
Rocketdyne, Stanford University, the University of Colorado, and the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory, as well as dozens of other universities and
small companies who contributed.
The people who created New
Horizons to complete the first reconnaissance of the planets delivered
on the promise we made in 2001 to explore the Pluto system. We invested
15 years of our careers and lives to do this, to create knowledge, to
show the United States on its game, to inspire kids and adults alike --
across the world -- and to make you proud.
