Media: Browse through stunning images of New Horizons or those taken by the spacecraft’s cameras as they looked in on the Jupiter system and other deep-space targets; watch videos that tell the New Horizons story from the idea stage through its upcoming rendezvous with Pluto.
Info: Take a tour of the New Horizons spacecraft; check out the payload of miniature science instrument and examine the data these tools are already sending back to Earth.
Tools: How – and when – will New Horizons reach the Pluto system? Open the locator to follow New Horizons along its path toward Pluto, and check the countdown clock to see exactly how much time remains – down to the second – before New Horizons sails past the dwarf planet and its four known moons on July 14, 2015.

Ratings and Reviews
Crashes on launch
New iPad gen 6, with iOS 12.1.1
Could be the new iOS?
Slowest loading app in the universe
Everything takes at least a light year to load. Videos won't show up and perhaps it takes two light years. You don't get to see anything even when the New Horizon probe arrived at Pluto.
No video
Everything is good except unable to load any videos >_<
