This is a paper I found the other day:

The title says it all: "The New Horizons Pluto Kuiper belt Mission: An Overview with Historical Context". I hope someone find it useful/interesting.

I told the team about the paper so that it should get added to the Resource Library section.

When the New Horizons mission was proposed for development it was in competition with another proposal for a probe to Europa.
I was disappointed at the time that NH got the nod over the Europa probe but I suppose wiser heads then me made that decision.
Can someone remind me why NH was selected over Europa?

I don't know the answer to this question, but this is a pretty inactive thread. You might want to post this question as a new thread in Space Exploration, or take a look at the Space Explorations New Horizon thread.

Thanks for the advice. As you see, I have started a thread on this.
