On Saturday, probe launched the so-called safe mode. The onboard computer had a failure, but seven instruments and software work well. You had only to reload a series of commands. Now the planned observations are resumed and NASA experts ensure that rushing at a speed of 14 kilometers per second probe is ready for a close encounter with Pluto.


 

– Pluto belongs to a group of objects from the periphery of the solar system, almost nothing about them do not know. It’s called the Kuiper Belt. We visit these areas for the first time – explains Jim Green of NASA. Space rendez-vous next Tuesday.
