Passport to Pluto takes you inside this historic NASA endeavor, from Pluto’s discovery at Lowell Observatory in 1930 through launch of the New Horizons spacecraft from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

Enter the clean rooms, scan control screens, and visit the launch pad to see the mission come together for its voyage to Pluto and beyond. This documentary, a New Horizons Education and Public Outreach product, has aired on the Discovery Science Channel as well as on NASA TV beginning in January 2006. During National Space Week, starting May 5 2007, Discovery Channel aired the updated version of the highly successful New Horizons E/PO product “Passport to Pluto” the behind-the-scenes look at how the New Horizons mission came together.

This “sequel” takes viewers through the preparations for and success of New Horizons’ Jupiter encounter.
