NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft, which is speeding its way toward a 2015 flyby of Pluto and its moons, has moved a step closer to landing on a U.S. postage stamp. The mission team reported Monday that its petition submitted last year to the postal service has been successful in earning a review by the Citizen’s Stamp Advisory Committee, which will decide if the mission merits a stamp. The process can take up to three years, so it may not be until the probe reaches Pluto that news of a New Horizons stamp may become public.
