Eyes on Pluto application

New Horizons mission to Pluto prepares for huge letdown on Tuesday AM:

On Tuesday morning at 0449 PDT (1149 UTC), the New Horizons space probe will make mankind's first visit to Pluto, and there will be much rejoicing; but we won't actually know if the mission is a success until much later in the day. At a press conference on Monday the team, some of whom have been working on the project for more than 20 years, explained that despite all the celebrations planned for tomorrow morning, the real crunch time will come at around 1800 PDT (0100 UTC), when the first signals for the probe are returned.

Update: New Horizons is expected to call home at 8:53 PM EDT.
