A fully automated satellite probe, the Pluto Express was designed for a 10-year journey to Pluto. Components are placed for maximum efficiency and protected by a hard shell. By keeping the weight to a minimum, the satellite can continue its flight after completing the primary mission: to see what lies beyond the farthest planet in our solar system.
