Map
This map illustrates the ground track that the Atlas 5 rocket will follow during launch of the Pluto New Horizons spacecraft. Depending on when in the window the rocket lifts off -- window open, the optimal middle or the close -- the time for Main Engine Start 2 by the Centaur upper stage and subsequent events will vary.
