Pluto, we're almost there.

In just shy of two weeks the New Horizons spacecraft will arrive at the dwarf planet Pluto on July 14, 2015.  A mission that spanned nearly a decade; a spacecraft traveling 3 billion miles; will climax in a single day as New Horizons will speed past Pluto at 32,500 MPH.

If all goes well we will see Pluto in detail never before possible.  This is the event of 2015!  And, you might not know, but New Horizons is controlled from right here in Maryland at the Applied Physics Lab.

Lots of details and up-to-the-minute coverage of this historic event can be found at New Horizons.
