Hi,
I’m regular follower of NH and I’m also interested in the 2nd leg of the mission, i.e the 2016+ KBOs encounters. Does anyone know when operations about this leg (starting with searching objects of interest with HST or some other earth-based means, I suppose) are expected to begin ? |

Looks like there is a pre-Pluto target PS article on the Ice Hunters

Looks like there is a pre-Pluto target... I see at least one UMSF contributor there. "Along with the New Horizons search team, the citizen scientists of Ice Hunters assisted in identifying 2011 HM102 in recovery images. The names of those that detected 2011 HM102 are listed below: ... T. Demko ..." |

It's nice to know that I contributed, in some small fashion, to the exploration of the solar system and beyond. The Ice Hunters project was very well designed, both from a contributor and end-user standpoint, and I hope that there are other similar opportunities for direct involvment in missions and data analysis. I hope that there will be imaging opportunites for New Horizons to view L5 Neptune Trojan 2011 HM102...it will be like connecting with someone you've only had a fleeting glimpse of, but now have the chance to learn much more!
