The platforms mature, and rumours begin about more powerful hardware on the horizon.
-- C. M., Australia You should alert your current employer to this powerful threat lurking over the horizon.
The launch took place in January, 2006, with the relatively small spacecraft — "a concert grand piano with a giant salad bowl on top," as one of its designers fondly described it to me — hitched to the Atlas V, one of NASA's most powerful rockets.* Once New Horizons passed Jupiter, more than a year later, its trajectory would take it past nothing of real scientific interest until Pluto.

A1 SCIENCE/HEALTH Spacecraft Headed to Pluto NASA launched the first space mission to Pluto as a powerful rocket hurled the New Horizons spacecraft on a nine-year, three-billion-mile journey to the edge of the solar system.
New imaging techniques, novel sensors, and wearable technologies aided by powerful computational algorithms bring new horizons to improve the contextualization of circulating biomarkers [64 68].
It was an early hint that a powerful new entertainment medium was on the horizon, one that would ultimately bond Silicon Valley to Hollywood.
New Horizon's transmitter is not powerful enough, but a 70-meter radio dish at NASA's Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex in California will be aimed at Pluto, and its pings of radio waves will bounce off Pluto to a receiver on New Horizons.
"Watching the short sellers turning bullish in a stock like AIG is a huge boost to the overall confidence of the market, and a powerful symbol of what is on the horizon," he adds.
Powerful UHF transmitters can achieve beyond-the-horizon transmission ranges by scattering transmitted energy off layers of the troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where most clouds and weather systems are contained).
Let it be said, once and for all, that no matter how powerful a radio transmitter whether an over-the-horizon radar station or a microwave tower radio waves simply cannot produce ionising radiation.
