20 janv. 2021 · It passed the Moon’s orbit in just nine hours, nearly 10 times faster than the Apollo astronauts, and began its nearly 10-year, 3-billion-mile journey to Pluto. To shorten an otherwise 14-year trip, New Horizons took advantage of a gravity assist from the giant planet Jupiter.
On January 19, 2006, New Horizons was launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station by an Atlas V rocket directly into an Earth-and-solar escape trajectory with a speed of about 16.26 km/s (10.10 mi/s; 58,500 km/h; 36,400 mph). It was the fastest (average speed with respect to Earth) human-made object ever launched from Earth.
