Awe! Thanks Everyone! These last few days have been very exciting and a little 
surreal. I have been the deputy mission system engineer on this project for 10 
years and this flyby is definitely the highlight of my career. It is hard to 
believe it has actually happened after working on it all this time.

Unfortunately, OODT is not used on New Horizons. :( The New Horizons science 
data pipeline was developed by Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, 
Colorado and they are not using OODT. My involvement with OODT at APL came out 
of my desire to (leave system engineering behind me and) get back to my 
software engineering roots and make a plan for work "life after Pluto". And 
very soon, as the flyby activities wind down, I will be back to working on OODT 
almost full time for the Juno JEDI instrument data pipeline and for the Van 
Allen Probes RBSPICE instrument data pipeline. Once I get those two pipelines 
fully operational, it is possible that I could whip up a quick look pipeline 
here at APL for the PEPSSI instrument on New Horizons. But for the moment, we 
are not using OODT on New Horizons.

Be sure to check out the press conference at NASA HQ on Friday for more new 
images and discoveries from New Horizons!! It is sure to be amazing!

Subject: Congrats to Val and New Horizons/Pluto!

Hey!

In case you didn’t see, New Horizons just flew by Pluto. Guess
what - Val works at APL and Hopkins! Congrats Val, hoping OODT
had something to do with it on the ground with JEDI! :) Either
way, proud of you!

Cheers,
Chris
