target! The spacecraft is to make a similar examination of a small, Kuiper
Belt object, an icy body known as 2014 MU69 in

billion miles beyond Pluto. “The New Horizons spacecraft is to adjust course
through a series of four thruster firings in late October and early November.
New Horizons would also make more distant measurements of 20 other Kuiper belt
objects en route to 2014 MU69.”That they can do this at all, with their
excellent fuel reserve, is one more checkmark of stunning human
