New Horizons Could Get More Mission Extensions
Wakened from its latest hibernation, New Horizons may visit additional Kuiper Belt Objects
Fuel saved during the MU69 encounter could be used to send New Horizons to a third KBO, a move that would require yet another mission extension. In 2016, NASA approved an extended mission for the MU69 flyby through the year 2021.
On Sept. 6, Stern told members of NASA’s Outer Planets Assessment Group that mission scientists are already searching for an additional KBO target.
“We have a fighting chance of having a second [Kuiper Belt Object] flyby,” Stern said.
Approval of another mission extension will also provide more opportunities for New Horizons to continue its distant observations of KBOs, dwarf planets, and centaurs. Stern said that he intends to request a second extension once the MU69 flyby is completed and the data collected from it returned to Earth.
Even that might not be the mission’s end. Stern foresees additional extensions beyond the one that would take it to a second KBO.
“There’s fuel and power on board the spacecraft to operate it for another 20 years,” Stern said. “That’s not going to be a concern even for a third or fourth extended mission.”
The probe will be put into another hibernation period on Dec. 22, 2017, during which it will remain until June 4, 2018, when it will be woken up in preparation for the MU69 encounter, which will officially begin in August 2018.

My house is OK!
Folks, I know you've all been worried about #Irma and especially about my estate on St. Martin, Le Château des Palmiers. Well, you have nothing to worry about, because it's A-OK! And it's available starting at only $6000 per night. I'm also looking for a buyer. I've listed it at just $16.9 million! Believe me, that represents a very, very substantial discount. Formerly $28 million. Comes with 5 acres surrounded by an 8-foot wall. Also, here's a big hand for President Macron for visiting St. Martin. He loves to shake my hand. And 95% of St. Martin was leveled. But my house is OK. No problem there. Fabulous! And a big hand to the folks in my Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Georgia, and South Carolina. All my people in the path of #Irma. Good going, you made it!

September 11
Having a fabulous September 11, remembering the terrible, horrible time when George W. Bush was President. The World Trade Center came down during his reign. He was President, OK? Blame him, or don't blame him, but he was President. When you talk about George Bush, I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time. Not one Trump Airlines plane was hijacked, that day or EVER! Very, very safe. And now I'm keeping America safe. Have a good time, everybody. #NeverForget911 pic.twitter.com/erycJgj23r
