Pluto New Horizons Scientists

Casey Michael Lewis, APL 
“Pluto is an excellent example of what formed the very edge of our solar system; I’m thrilled we’ve gone by it.”

Dr. Brian May, Scientific Collaborator
 “Pure art and pure science are the pinnacles of human endeavor. You can add love to that if you like. So much of what we do is for money, power, or advancement, but pure work is important because it stands apart from the things that we do for survival and extends the range of human consciousness.”

Dr. Yanping Guo, APL, Mission Ops, Lead Trajectory Designer 
“The trajectory to Pluto, being so far from the Earth, was difficult. I’ve always been interested in combining the practicality of engineering with the wonder of science and it was a privilege to be on this mission.”
