What does America s New Vision rely on?

New Horizons' propulsion system consists of 16 hydrazine thrusters, of which 4 thrusters with Ox thrust are mainly used to correct the flight trajectory and 12 thrusters with Ox thrust are mainly used to accelerate or decelerate the probe's spin. New Horizons carries a total of 77 kilograms of propellant, which is used to correct its trajectory or change course during the voyage. On its way to Pluto, it uses Jupiter's gravitational pull to assist in acceleration; When it reaches Pluto, it uses a flyby, so it doesn't need to slow down to get into orbit when approaching Pluto.

These two factors make the New Horizons carry less fuel.

The New Horizons of the United States used solar energy at the beginning, but it flew too far and the sun could not shine, so it used nuclear batteries.

New Horizons is a Pluto probe launched by NASA on January 19, 2006 from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. After the Pluto mission, New Horizons will continue to fly farther from Earth, arriving in the Kuiper Belt, an intermediate ring of comets and other cosmic debris, in 2017-2020 to detect at least two Kuiper Belt objects with diameters of 40 to 90 kilometers, a phase that could last five to 10 years.

New Horizons, the fastest spacecraft ever launched, flew past Pluto at 19:49 Beijing time on July 14, 2015.

Right now, New Horizons (New Horizons) is rapidly flying away from Pluto and into the heart of the Kuiper Belt. On August 29, 2015, NASA announced the next destination of the probe: the Kuiper Belt Object, numbered 2014 MU69.

Flight speed 10,000 miles per hour (10,000 kilometers per hour).

Power when located near Pluto: 228 watts.

Data transfer rate when located in Pluto: 768bps

Cost: $700 million, $100 million for the launch process.

Dimensions: 0 7 meters, about 2 1 meters long, about 2 7 meters wide at the widest point, the detector weighs 478 kg at launch.

Power: Kilograms of plutonium radioactive decay provide energy. The entire (nuclear-powered) spacecraft weighs about 450 kilograms (1,000 pounds) including propellant).

In my opinion, New Horizons should fly mainly by inertia and planetary gravity, and it carries a small amount of fuel mainly for adjusting its flight attitude and course. This is because the New Horizons probe flies in a cosmic vacuum without encountering any resistance and therefore does not require much fuel.

New Horizons uses electricity from nuclear energy, but its flight power comes from inertia and the gravitational pull of passing planets. It transmits information at the speed of light at the speed of light, which is the same as that of a radio station.

New Horizons didn't fly, it floated like space junk, it just didn't make it clear.

The level of science and technology on the earth cannot allow it to fly all the time, but one of the biggest characteristics of scientists on the earth is to exaggerate the level and brag about the funding.

Because the whole universe is flying.

There is no resistance in the universe, so you can fly all the time.

Since Pluto and the Kuiper Belt are far from the Sun, the intensity of solar radiation is only one-thousandth that of Earth, and it takes more than four hours for the sun's rays to travel to Pluto. The power required by New Vision cannot be supplied by solar cells. For this purpose, the New Horizons probe carried a radioisotope thermostat.

The nuclear generator, located at the tail of New Horizons, contains kilograms of plutonium dioxide, and the plutonium-238 in it emits heat when it decays, providing stable power through temperature differences. All of the detection equipment will be powered by a nuclear generator, which generates the equivalent of a pair of 100-watt light bulbs.

4.8 billion kilometers in 9 years, just to cross most of the solar system to see you. After more than nine years of long flight, the New Horizon probe finally passed by Pluto last night, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) subsequently published through social networks the clearest image of Pluto to date**. It is reported that they announced that they have found that the actual size of Pluto is slightly larger than previous estimates.

New Horizons flew at nearly 50,000 kilometers per hour, making it the fastest spacecraft ever made. The seven instruments it carries will work at full speed as it flies by Pluto, piecing together the full picture of Pluto and its moons.

The power required by New Horizons cannot be supplied by the power generation of the solar energy battery. For this purpose, the New Horizons probe carried a radioisotope thermostat.

The nuclear generator, located at the tail of New Horizons, contains kilograms of plutonium dioxide, and the plutonium-238 in it emits heat when it decays, providing stable power through temperature differences. All of the mission's equipment will be powered by this nuclear generator, which will produce more power than a pair of 100-watt light bulbs.
