On July 14, 2015, New Horizons flew 12,500 km (7,800 mi) above the surface of Pluto, making it the first spacecraft to explore the dwarf planet.
On October 25, 2016, the last of the recorded data from the Pluto flyby was received from New Horizons.
Having completed its flyby of Pluto, New Horizons has maneuvered for a flyby of Kuiper belt object (486958) 2014 MU69, expected to take place on January 1, 2019.
What else can I help you with?
