RTG Powered 'New Horizons' Prepares for Encounter with Pluto

New Horizons, NASA's radioistopte thermoelectic generator (RTG) powered mission to Pluto and the Kupier Belt, was awakened from hibernation mode last month in preparation for encountering the Pluto system with closest approach July 14, 2015. Here's the latest news from the Johns Hopkin's Applied Laboratory on this historic mission.

The closest approach to Pluto will occur just two weeks after the 2015 International Conference on Thermoelectrics (ICT & ECT 2015) to be held in Dresden, Germany.

ZTnews Fails To Deliver

I must report that some subscribers to the ZTnews mailing list have not received all the mails sent out.  I've confirmed that the mail is sent, but rejected from the receiving mail servers.  It is a chronic problem with mailing lists.

I'm working on alternate delivery software which may (or may not) improve the situation.  For the time being, please visit the archives at:
