This topic is for all New Horizons Pluto surface observations received after 1 Feb 2016.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

I haven't caught a recent update on the progress of the download of the encounter data. Has it been completed?

I haven't caught a recent update on the progress of the download of the encounter data. Has it been completed? The encounter download still has a ways to go. We estimate finishing about 1 November, the main uncertainty in an exact date is DSN scheduling. Currently the downlink is dominated by instrument calibration data that will improve our ability to reduce the data already on the ground. About 15% of the Pluto system data, primarily data from Ralph and LORRI, still remain to be sent after that. |
