>As New Horizons enters hibernation for its long trip to Pluto, Science 
>Operations Center lead Joe Peterson tells how (and why) his team is 
>protecting and preserving the mission's crucial data. New Horizons gathered 
>some absolutely breathtaking images and other data during its Jupiter 
>encounter earlier this year, but no one knows exactly how this information 
>will be valuable to a scientist 100 years from now. Archiving it properly 
>is a real challenge, one that the New Horizons Science Operations Center 
>has recently undertaken -- resulting in a data "time capsule" designed to 
>last well into the future.
