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 ? |

DPS 53 Wednesday Press Conference contains, among others, two very interesting presentations:
- (from 2:16) „New Horizons discovers „Tight Twins” in the Kuiper Belt” (by Harold Weaver) - (from 19:00) OSIRIS-REx: „Why Bennu and asteroids like it have surplisingly rugged surfaces?” (by Saverio Cambioni) [S-type asteroids have low porosity rocks and... have abundant fine-grained materials / Carbonaceous asteroids have high porosity rocks and... lack fine-grained materials] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5UudvSoE0o |
