Hi all, I have just updated my New Horizons page. It is a page similar to "Where is New Horizons now?" has been available at:

To answer my own question earlier, those of you who missed the launch webcast, there's a very nice archive on The Spacearium. Among others, it has a clip running from T-4 until T+5, the post-launch press conference as well as a number of launch replays are available.

What happened to that website - spacearium ?

Thanks, yep the remote sound activated camera. I escaped this time. If you want to read more on how we get those kinds of shots, I wrote up an article yesterday:

That was a good article. When you do photography other than studio work, you realize that loss of cameras is a part of the business. I do aerial photography from radio-control airplanes and lose a couple of cameras a year...

Did You all notice that the New Horizons spacecraft is planned to conduct its Pluto flyby on 14th July 2015 ?
That's exactly half a century after the Mariner 4 flyby of Mars !!!

Yes, Bruce Moomaw noted it a few months back in one of the NH threads. Alan Stern picked up on it, and has mentioned that fact in the NH oost-launch news conference.

Ah, so Stern stole ANOTHER one of my ideas, did he?

Please don't say that Mariner 4 was/will be half a century ago.

Where's that old man icon I asked for?

pretty cool!

Ben,

Although its a bit late, my congratulations too. Thats a great shot.

In fact I so truly enjoy the whole series, that for my outreach presentations I have assembled them into a series of collages over several slides to convey the beauty and power of that awesome Atlas launch;

a simulated animation

from liftoff to Infinity and Beyond !!!

Or, as the BabelFish translation of one French aerospace website put it: "Toward the infinite realms and beyond that!"

Ha, thanks. Sounds neat, can I see what you did?

Its quite catchy, actually, in a Buzz Lightyear sort of way.

Didn't Captain James <where no man has gone before> Kirk say:
"Somewhere, out there, THATAWAY!"?
