At the moment, we waited nearly ten years because it took so long probe New Horizons to reach the edge of the solar system. Especially impatiently for the last day, when the spacecraft approached Pluto, he examined him and began transmitting data to Earth. And here it is! NASA just published a photograph awaited by people all over the world. Before the country: mountains on Pluto

On Tuesday, New Horizons spacecraft glided by Pluto, approaching him at a distance of 12.5 thousand. km. 13 hours later to Earth occurred confirmation that the flight was a success. Since then, people around the world were waiting for the first images of Pluto taken during close-ups. Last Tuesday revealed that NASA made from a distance of 766 thousand. km.

Unfortunately, data transmission from the edge of the solar system is not a simple matter. The signal needs almost 4.5 hours to reach the Earth, and the baud rate is only approx. 1-2 kilobits per second. What was needed was patience.

“Photos, photos, photos!”, “When will we see pictures in high resolution?”, “Upload Photos lasts forever” – sounded the most popular in Wednesday’s comments on Twitter. Some even accused the researchers that deliberately delaying. “There is still no picture? None of updates to now? He did not even try to hide from us aliens!” – He wrote on Wednesday to NASA on Twitter Vilay from Singapore. “Do not hide the truth!” – Echoed Fredd from Madrid.

NASA soothed: “Data continues. The next photo will be even today. Stay with us”.

Here is a photograph, which waited

And, indeed. On Wednesday, after hours. 21 American agency has published the clearest picture of Pluto done so far. It’s a small part of the southern part of this dwarf planet. Part of the puzzle, which in the coming days and weeks we will know. Shows up on Pluto.

NASA also showed pictures of Charon, the largest Pluto’s moon. The first time we see him up close. At two o’clock you can see the canyon, the depth of which is estimated at 3-6 km.

How NASA communicates with the probe

New Horizons probe is communicating 70-meter antenna located in the Australian DSS43 Canberra. Impressive device weighing 3 thousand. t is the largest parabolic antenna on the entire southern hemisphere. On the record shows how DSS43 was setting out to establish communication with the probe:

DSS43 is part of a global network of antennas Deep Space Network (DSN), which is responsible for communication with the cosmos eksplorującymi probes and is considered the most sensitive telecommunications system of the Earth. In addition to Australia DSN relays are also located in California and Spain.
