About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — In NASA Kennedy Space Center’s Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility, the radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) rests horizontally on a moveable stand. The RTG will be installed in the New Horizons spacecraft, at right, for a fit check. The RTG is the baseline power supply for New Horizons, scheduled to launch in January 2006 on a journey to Pluto and its moon, Charon. It is expected to reach Pluto in July 2015.
