- Abstract
NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto-Charon and the Kuiper Belt is the initial reconnaissance of this region of the solar system. In response to the unique nature of this endeavor a novel approach to high speed storage of a large amount of instrument data was necessary. The design of the observatory's solid state recorder and the related software to support the mission's concept of operations is described.
