Course Overview<\/h2>\n

The theme of the CLASS\/SSERVI capstone planetary graduate seminar \u201cNew Horizons Approaches Pluto\u201d is focused on the science and technology involved in planning the execution of a major planetary mission.\u00a0 This seminar was conducted the year before the New Horizons Pluto flyby and was led by the New Horizons Principal Investigator, Dr. Alan Stern.\u00a0 The lecturers were drawn from the leading experts of New Horizons team.\u00a0\u00a0 From the technology perspective these lectures capture the challenges in designing the encounter. From the science perspective this captures the scientific expectations for the encounter along with how science informs and drives observation planning. The outstanding success of the Pluto flyby a year later is a testament to the planning and analysis described in these lectures.<\/p>\n
