Petition pushes Pluto probe postage
collectSPACE.com
The team behind NASA’s first mission to the last (dwarf) planet started a petition campaign on Wednesday to have the U.S. Postal Service honor its probe with a postage stamp. Set to flyby Pluto in July 2015, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft will complete the first era of planetary reconnaissance and study the farthest object ever explored in space. The New Horizons team has set March 13, the 82nd anniversary of the announcement of Pluto’s discovery, as the deadline for their petition, which will be delivered to the USPS and the Citizens’ Stamp Advisory Committee for consideration.
