Media Briefings, Online Coverage of Ultima Thule Flyby
“NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft is on track to perform the farthest flyby in history, when it zips past a Kuiper Belt object nicknamed Ultima Thule — more than four billion miles from Earth — at 12:33 a.m. EST on Jan. 1. Flyby activities are taking place at the home of New Horizons operations, the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland. A schedule of events, set for broadcast and streaming on NASA TV and social media channels, is below.”
Media coverage to date that I’ve heard (NPR, NBC) has been surprisingly correct with appropriate emphasis.
Keith I always love hearing your questions on these media engagements. And I’m glad to know Zurbuchen will be able to attend as a private citizen.
