I suppose the STAR 48B third-stage, which put New Horizons on its trajectory towards Jupiter, follows about the same flight-path as the New Horizons spacecraft itself. If this is the case, will it too in the end leave our solar system?
Or has it been deflected after seperation from the spacecraft? |

Hi Alan, hi all,
after checking the Jupiter encounter date in the Guide8 software I see all Galilean satellites on the left side of the planet, the aim point from NH, I suspect, is on the right side, isnt, it? Only Himalia could be possible better placed, but I have no depth information currently. I recall that Cassini encounters Himalia a few days ahead of the main Jupiter encounter.
By the way congratulations Alan for the perfect launch of the NH spacecraft and many wishes for a flawless mission !! Robert |
