List of New Horizons topics is a list of topics related to the New Horizons spacecraft, an unmanned space probe launched 2006 to Pluto and beyond.

On January 19, 2006, it was launched directly into a solar-escape trajectory at 16.26 kilometers per second (58,536 km/h; 36,373 mph) from Cape Canaveral using an Atlas V version with 5 SRBs and Star 48B thirdstage .[1] New Horizons passed the Moon's orbit in just nine hours.[2][3]
