New Horizons, Deployed
New Horizons is NASA's active outer-solar-system probe, the first spacecraft to explore Pluto close up and later the Kuiper Belt object Arrokoth. It is represented in complete flight configuration with its thick triangular bus, 2.1 m high-gain dish, side-mounted radioisotope generator, and science instruments. The documented envelope is about 2.74 × 2.11 × 0.68 m and the spacecraft mass is 478 kg.
