While we fully understand the emotional toll taken on the world when the runt of our litter was booted from our cosmic playground, as purveyors of science we know the importance of admitting when we were wrong. Pluto’s true place lies in the Kuiper belt among other dwarf planets and TNOs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b401559b10598e2e4119ce8/1545323409808-N6RKW6QZYA8Y4XAVWSR5/Haumea_Rotation.gif Posts - Meet the Residents of the Kuiper Belt - Haumea Discovered: December 28, 2004 Type: Dwarf Planet Size: Haumea's mass is about one-third that of Pluto, and 1/1400 that of Earth. Although its shape has not been directly observed, calculations from its light curve indicate that it is a Jacobi ellipsoid, with its major axis twice as long as its minor. (via Wiki) Haumea is the third largest confirmed TNO after Pluto and Eris, and its ellipsoid shape is thought to be due to its extremely rapid rotation - just once every 4 hours! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b401559b10598e2e4119ce8/1545323397369-UXWLIA2UCGCGM1DVU42Z/17mtz4x5ic6r2jpg.jpg Posts - Meet the Residents of the Kuiper Belt - Makemake Discovered: March 31, 2005 Type: Dwarf Planet Size: 1,434km (891 miles) in diameter Although Makemake is one of the brightest Kuiper Belt objects, its moon is the opposite - puzzlingly - with reflectivity similar to charcoal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b401559b10598e2e4119ce8/1545323408621-AVT5ED9MPS6KRTHT35TS/20130719_eso1142a.jpg Posts - Meet the Residents of the Kuiper Belt - Eris Discovered: October 21, 2003 Type: Dwarf Planet Size: 2,326km (1,445 miles) in diameter Moon(s): Dysnomia The discovery of Eris in 2005 was one of the reasons Pluto’s classification as a full-scale planet came into question. It originally appeared to be larger than Pluto, however subsequent research revealed that it is slightly smaller. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b401559b10598e2e4119ce8/1545349154758-XOUQOKR9MOFQ77LWV26V/makemak2.jpg Posts - Meet the Residents of the Kuiper Belt - Sedna Discovered: November 14, 2003 Type: Dwarf Planet (likely) Size: 995km (780 miles) in diameter Moon(s): None Initially nicknamed “The Flying Dutchman” by discoverer Mike Brown, 90377 Sedna (or just “Sedna”) is even smaller than Pluto’s moon Charon and takes over 11,000 years to orbit the sun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b401559b10598e2e4119ce8/1545351313628-KT6ZRKXPWSAZE9YGXWNQ/1024px-PIA21867-2014MU69-BinaryObject-ArtConcept-20170804.jpg Posts - Meet the Residents of the Kuiper Belt - Ultima Thule Discovered: June 26, 2014 Type: Unsure - possibly even two bodies co-orbiting Size: 30km (19 miles) in diameter Moon(s): None Pretty soon we’ll get to meet Ultima Thule (not its official name), as the New Horizons spacecraft has been given the go-ahead to do a flyby on January 1, 2019! That will make it the farthest object in the Solar System ever to be visited by a spacecraft. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b401559b10598e2e4119ce8/1545754494908-9XZ3ISP37GVCN3FHZVKD/06-quaoar.jpg Posts - Meet the Residents of the Kuiper Belt - Quaoar Discovered: June 6, 2002 Type: Dwarf Planet (possibly) Size: 1,092km (679 miles) in diameter Moon(s): Weywot Quaoar (or 50000 Quaoar) is a possible dwarf planet about half the size of Pluto. Signs of water ice have been found along with a small amount of methane on its surface. Methane can only be retained by the largest Kuiper belt objects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b401559b10598e2e4119ce8/1545754851177-EIC4Z40IIMY73PX8RN73/snowwhite_1275482493_2093135_1300x731.jpg Posts - Meet the Residents of the Kuiper Belt - 2007 OR10 Discovered: July 17, 2007 Type: Dwarf Planet (likely) Size: 1,250km (780 miles) in diameter Moon(s): One (unnamed) What’s in a name?

Memoriam - Zuma - SpaceX USA-280 (codenamed "Zuma") was a classified United States government satellite that was launched by SpaceX on 8 January 2018. The specific agency in charge of the Zuma project has not been disclosed, nor its purpose. In November 2017 Northrop Grumman stated that the launch "is a monumental responsibility and has taken great care to ensure the most affordable and lowest risk scenario for Zuma." The Wall Street Journal reported that the design was very sensitive to vibration and sudden shocks, and had a development cost approaching US$3.5 billion. Following the launch, unnamed sources stated that the satellite was lost during deployment and re-entered the atmosphere, and independent investigations concluded that the spacecraft likely failed to separate from its payload adapter.

One hour after launch, the first telemetry transmissions from Mariner 3 were received, indicating that the scientific instruments were functioning correctly but there was no indication of any solar panel operation. Unsure of the exact problem, ground controllers issued a command to turn off the rate gyros to conserve power while they worked to figure out what had happened. Telemetry data suggested a separation failure of either the Agena or the payload fairing, however a below-normal velocity appeared to indicate that the fairing had not separated properly. A command was sent to manually jettison the payload shroud, but nothing happened. The ground controllers next considered firing Mariner 3's midcourse correction engine to blow off the shroud, however they ran out of time. Eight hours after launch, the batteries in the probe died and the mission was officially terminated. Even if the shroud could be removed, the mission probably would have failed anyway since the low velocity meant that Mariner 3 would miss Mars by several million miles.

However, on September 23, 1999, communication with the spacecraft was lost as the spacecraft went into orbital insertion, due to ground-based computer software which produced output in non-SI units of pound-force seconds (lbf·s) instead of the SI units of newton-seconds (N·s) specified in the contract between NASA and Lockheed. The spacecraft encountered Mars on a trajectory that brought it too close to the planet, causing it to pass through the upper atmosphere and disintegrate.

The lander of Mars 2 became the first man-made object to reach the surface of Mars, although the landing system failed and the lander was lost. After the Mars 2 lander crashed on the martian surface, Mars 3 lander became the first spacecraft to attain soft landing on Mars on December 2, 1971. It failed shortly after landing.

Built by Lavochkin, Mars 6 was the first of two 3MP spacecraft launched to Mars in 1973. The spacecraft returned data for 224 seconds during its descent through the Martian atmosphere. However, at 09:11:05 UTC, with the spacecraft about to fire its retrorockets in preparation for landing, all contact was lost. Due to a design flaw, a chip aboard the spacecraft had degraded during the mission, and a large amount of the data which had been returned was unusable.

Its intended mission was to explore Mars and its moons Phobos and Deimos. On September 2, a faulty key-command was sent up to Phobos 1 from ground control in Yevpatoria. A technician unintentionally left out a single hyphen in one of the keyed commands. All commands were supposed to be proofread by a computer before being transmitted, but the computer that checked code was malfunctioning. The technician violated procedure and transmitted the command before the computer could be fixed to proofread it. This minor alteration in code caused the end-of-mission command to reach the spacecraft; shutting down all of the systems aboard Phobos 1.

It did not reach Mars orbit due to electrical failures. The mission was terminated on December 31, 2003. It was constructed by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, University of Tokyo and launched on July 4, 1998. Nozomi was designed to study the upper Martian atmosphere and its interaction with the solar wind and to develop technologies for use in future planetary missions. Specifically, instruments on the spacecraft were to measure the structure, composition and dynamics of the ionosphere, aeronomy effects of the solar wind, the escape of atmospheric constituents, the intrinsic magnetic field, the penetration of the solar-wind magnetic field, the structure of the magnetosphere, and dust in the upper atmosphere and in orbit around Mars. The mission would have also returned images of Mars' surface.

On December 3, 1999, however, after the descent phase was expected to be complete, the lander failed to reestablish communication with Earth. A post-mortem analysis determined the most likely cause of the mishap was premature termination of the engine firing prior to the lander touching the surface, causing it to strike the planet at a high velocity.

Launched in February 1961, it flew past Venus on 19 May of the same year; however, radio contact with the probe was lost before the flyby, resulting in it returning no data.
