NASA has announced a plan to continue New Horizons’ mission of exploration outer solar system. Beginning in fiscal year 2025, New Horizons will focus on gathering unique heliophysics data, can be readily obtained during extended, low-activity mode operations.

Science community is not currently aware of any reachable Kuiper Belt object, new path allows for possibility using spacecraft for a future close flyby of such any object, should one be identified. also will enable spacecraft to preserve fuel & reduce op complexity while search is conducted for a compelling flyby candidate.

“New Horizons mission has a unique position in our solar system to answer important questions about our heliosphere & provide extraordinary opportunities for multidisciplinary science for NASA & scientific community,” said Nicola Fox, associate administrator for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington.

New, extended mission will be primarily funded by NASA’s Planetary Science Division & jointly managed by NASA’s Heliophysics and Planetary Science Divisions.

NASA’s New Horizons to Continue Exploring Outer Solar System. 

“Agency decided that it was best to extend op for New Horizons until spacecraft exits Kuiper Belt, which is expected in 2028 through 2029.”
