摘要

Before NASA had confirmation that the New Horizons probe had completed its historic Pluto flyby July 14, the mission's principal investigator, Alan Stern, admitted he was already contemplating a follow-on mission: a Charon lander that could study the surface of Pluto's largest moon while remotely observing the dwarf planet as an orbiter would. "I've been thinking about the next thing to do, and in my own mind I think that a lander is smarter. But the lander that I'd like to fly is actually a lander to Charon," Stern said in a brief interview July 14, about an hour after the Pluto flyby. "We land on the Pluto-facing hemisphere of Charon, we have an orbiter that's looking at Pluto every day from the surface, and we can look at all the small satellites as they move through the sky."
