Status
On October 16, 2012, with the team through the discovery of Pluto by the Hubble Space Telescope's two new satellite debris and numerous stars, the Voyager 1 probe team published an article, refers to the New Horizons flyby of Pluto in the detector, there is a possibility that it was destroyed by Pluto orbits of the satellites of the planets in the debris, so that the working group is now studying whether to change the trajectory of New Horizons, and to avoid these collisions, the protection of the Voyager 1 probe On October 16, 2012, with the team through the discovery of Pluto by the Hubble Space Telescope's two new satellite debris and numerous stars, the Voyager 1 probe team published an article, refers to the New Horizons flyby of Pluto in the detector, there is a possibility that it was destroyed by Pluto orbits of the satellites of the planets in the debris, so that the working group is now studying whether to change the trajectory of New Horizons, and to avoid these collisions, the protection of the Voyager 1 probe . filed in the Japan Patent Office on May 16, 2013, the team calculated that the New Horizons probe to Pluto and the orbit of the satellite system,learned that the New Horizons probe to Pluto and the path of the satellite system and the track surface is close to vertical filed in the Japan Patent Office on May 16, 2013, the team calculated that the New Horizons probe to Pluto and the orbit of the satellite system,learned that the New Horizons probe to Pluto and the path of the satellite system and the track surface is close to vertical .
that is to say, the Voyager 1 probe and newly discovered satellites collided to, only in the most proximity of the risk is higher, about 0. 3% of the risk caused by the impact of task will terminate, and therefore, the working group indicated it wouldn't do a wholesale change in the established route task will terminate, and therefore, the working group indicated it wouldn't do a wholesale change in the established route .
