PLUTO FAST FLYBY

A space mission meant to perform a flyby of the dwarf planet Pluto, this spacecraft was meant to be launched by 2000 and reach Pluto by 2010, so it could examine Pluto’s atmosphere before it froze as Pluto moves away from the sun. The mission was later cancelled due to a lack of funding, but it was replaced by the Pluto Kuiper Express. The Pluto Kuiper Express would also later be cancelled for the same reasons. A mission to Pluto was eventually realized as New Horizons, which launched in January 2005 and which successfully visited Pluto on July 14, 2015.
