Abstract.The New Horizons spacecraft was launched on 19 January 2006. The spacecraft was
designed to provide a platform for seven instruments designated by the science team to collect and
return data from Pluto in 2015. The design meetsthe requirements established by the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Announcement of Opportunity AOOSS01. The
design drew on heritage from previous missions developed at The Johns Hopkins University
Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) and other missions such as Ulysses. The trajectory design
imposed constraints on mass and structural strength to meet the high launch acceleration consistent
with meeting the AO requirement of returning data prior to the year 2020. The spacecraft
subsystems were designed to meet tight resource allocations (mass and power) yet provide the
necessary control and data handling finesse to support d
