The New Horizons spacecraft, launched in 2006, is on approach for a dramatic flight past the icy dwarf planet of Pluto and its moons in July 2015. After 10 years and more than 3 billion miles, on a historic voyage that has already taken it over the storms and around the moons of Jupiter, New Horizons will shed light on new kinds of worlds on the outskirts of the solar system.

You can examine a 3-D model of the New Horizons spacecraft and download a .stl file for 3-D printing! Visit the NASA 3-D resources website, managed by the agency’s Ames Research Center, at http://nasa3d.arc.nasa.gov/detail/new-horizons.

The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) designed, built and operates the New Horizons spacecraft, and manages the mission for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington.
