 “This is my first encounter with a new world. There was no way I could have anticipated the overwhelming feeling of being in the control room, and seeing the data come in. It was very emotional. And I kept reminding myself, “This is real.”

Dr. Cathy Olkin, SWRI, Mission Co-I, Deputy Project Scientist “Being a part of this team is an honor. I began working on New Horizons more than a decade ago during development of the spacecraft and instruments.”
