Tomorrow, I expect. But there should already be better Charon image on the ground now as part of the failsafe transmission?

So the [Admin Edit] Grand Tour, started in the 1970s has now been fulfilled.
I wonder what the New Horizons space probe's next target will be hehe. They said we should get some new hi-res images of the Pluto system tomorrow. |

Can't wait to see that first closeup pic.... When are we expected to get one? DSN Madrid doesn't appear to be to be receiving any data from NH now ( http://eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html ), so I'm guessing there wasn't any scientific data tucked in right behind the systems/telemetry data (the transmission was way to short to be anything but a status update). Does anyone know when some of the science data was sent? -kap |

We actually just got some PEPSSI data in there too, not only telemetry. Even better!

The phone home was to let everyone know the close flyby worked. |

Yeah, I was mistaken. Sorry to raise hopes; no pics tonight.

From Emily via Twitter:
The next downlink we are expecting is First Look A. It begins at 09:32 UT | 05:32 ET | 02:32 PT and ends at 10:59 UT | 06:59 ET | 03:59 PT (EDIT-Corrected briefing time) Apparently some of these will be released at the 1200 PDT/1900 GMT 15 Jul media event. -------------------- 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.
