“…The thermal design of the New Horizons spacecraft minimizes the amount of power required for heaters by making use of the waste heat dissipated from electronics boxes and from the RTG in a design like a Thermos bottle. Other power-saving measures included the use of flash memory devices in the onboard solid-state recorder and a new low-power digital receiver (Haskins and Millard 2004;Kusnierkiewicz et al 2005).…”

“…While analog receivers can require on the order of 12 watts, the New Horizons Digital Receiver reduced the power requirement for the uplink receiver by more than half. 1 allocation in the budget. As a result modifications were made to the coil windings to reduce the power requirement for this device.…”

On January 19, 2006, an Atlas V 551 launched NASA's New Horizons spacecraft from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on the first journey to the last planet in our solar system. After a 9.5year journey, the spacecraft will reach Pluto and its moons on July 14, 2015. Following this primary mission, the spacecraft intends to continue exploring objects beyond Pluto in the expanse of the Kuiper Belt. On board the spacecraft, a suite of seven scientific instruments provide the capability to image surfaces, determine atmospheric composition, and measure energetic particles and plasma.
