Controversy Surrounds New Horizons Mission Change.

NASA and the science team for the New Horizons spacecraft are in disagreement about the future of the mission and the science it can perform. NASA only approved funding for two years, rather than three as requested, and plans to have the mission compete in a separate senior review for the heliophysics division for fiscal year 2025 and beyond. The project team had proposed a multidisciplinary science mission for New Horizons, conducting a mix of astrophysics, heliophysics, and planetary science research.
