New Horizons Spacecraft Trajectory v2.0
Status: LOCALLY ARCHIVED
Abstract: This collection contains New Horizons (NH) spacecraft trajectory in various reference frames. For the time period from launch through the end of 2028, the sampling period is 86400 NH spacecraft seconds, about one day. The data will contain placeholder flags for some (future) dates where there is not enough information to predict the spacecraft location accurately. Locations before 2022-JUN-01 01:36:23.288 come from 'reconstructed' SPICE kernels, whereas later locations are estimated from 'predicted' SPICE kernel information. For the Pluto Time of Closest Approach (TCA) plus or minus approximately 30 days, there are additional files available. During this time period the sampling rate varies.
