Highly integrated Pluto payload system (HIPPS): A sciencecraft instrument for the Pluto mission Highly integrated Pluto payload system (HIPPS): A sciencecraft instrument for the Pluto mission

We describe the design concept for the highly integrated Pluto payload system (HIPPS): a highly integrated, low-cost, light-weight, low-power instrument payload designed to fly aboard the proposed NASA Pluto flyby spacecraft destined for the Pluto/Charon system. The HIPPS payload is designed to accomplish all of the Pluto flyby prime (IA) science objectives, except radio science, set...
