When the New Horizons spacecraft is injected into its
heliocentric orbit on Tuesday, January 17, it will become the
fastest object ever launched from the Earth's surface.  The New
Horizons project encourages amateur and professional astronomers to
observe the spacecraft during the hours just after it is launched.
Video and CCD images are especially welcome.  If everything happens
as planned and radio communication with the spacecraft is quickly
established, that will be used for determining the accurate
trajectory of the spacecraft so that images of the spacecraft will
be of interest mainly for education and public relations.  If there
is any mishap, optical observations could be crucial for either
rescuing the mission (orbit determination) or establishing what went
wrong.


      The spacecraft will be invisible in the night sky during its
parking orbit coast over South Africa and the western Indian Ocean.
When the 2nd and third stages of the rocket ignite to propell the
spacecraft from the circular parking orbit, it should be quite
bright, possible to see with binoculars.  The third-stage burn is
planned to occur at 19:06 UT over the Indian Ocean if the spacecraft
is launched at the beginning of its planned launch window.  It will
rapidly rise, moving out of the Earth's shadow a few minutes later
to become visible as it is lit by the Sun.  The best place to see
this will be the eastern Indian Ocean and western Australia.  As the
spacecraft rises further, it will become visible in the night sky
across south-central and eastern Asia, from India to Japan to
Indonesia.  Unfortunately, when the spacecraft rises for populous
parts of southeastern Australia, the Sun will be rising so New
Horizons won't be visible there, but observers in central and
northern Australia will have some good visibility before morning
twilight becomes too bright (it will be early Wednesday morning,
January 18, at those longitudes).


      We have a computer program and data to generate predictions of
the path of the spacecraft in the sky for observers on the Earth's
surface for the first two hours after the nominal third-stage
injection maneuver, specifically, at 1-minute intervals from 19:06.5
to 21:14.5 UT of 2006 January 17, UT.  These predictions for a few
locations are given below.  We estimate that the spacecraft will be
between 10th and 14th magnitude during this time, depending on your
location and the time, the spacecraft of course becoming fainter as
it is higher.  We can generate predictions for locations other than
those below upon request to dunham(==>)starpower.net and
david.dunham(==>)jhuapl.edu .  Tomorrow, around 15h UT (Jan. 16), I will
post these predictions for all Minor Planet Center observatories on
my Web site at http://iota.jhuapl.edu and they might also be placed
on the New Horizons Web site at http://pluto.jhuapl.edu .  Also
sometime tomorrow, we hope to set up our program so it can be used
interactively from the New Horizons Web site to generate predictions
for any specified Earth-surface location.  We hope that the
interactive site can use the phase angle, and distances to the
spacecraft and Sun, to calculate an estimated magnitude.  These will
be most useful for observers in the parts of Asia and Australia
mentioned above before other predictions noted below become
available.  Note that since the actual spacecraft will deviate a
little from its planned trajectory, our predictions can be in error
by a degree or so, and of course the error will be larger if the
launch is delayed beyond the start of the daily launch window (the
actual launch can occur as late as 2 hours after the start of the
daily window).  If the launch is delayed, we'll put updated data on
our Web sites as soon as possible.


      Some time an hour or two after launch, the trajectory will be
placed on the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Ephemeris Generator Web
site at http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eph and observers can then
obtain better predictions for their location from there.  This will
be especially the case for observers in Europe and Africa, then the
Americas, who will be able to observe the departing spacecraft after
about 22h UT.  Of course, as the spacecraft moves even farther from
the Earth, it will become fainter, to 15th to 19th magnitude for
those areas probable.
