Long Range Reconnaissance Imager

[2][3] LORRI is a reflecting telescope of Ritchey-Chrétien design, and it has a main mirror diameter of 208 mm (8.2 inches) across.

[4] LORRI is a telescopic panchromatic camera integrated with the New Horizons spacecraft, and it is one of seven major science instruments on the probe.

[7] In 2018, New Horizons spacecraft used navigation data from LORRI for its planned flyby of Arrokoth in a couple months.

[12] In December 2017, LORRI took an image at a greater distance from Earth than Pale Blue Dot by Voyager 1, in this case of the Wishing Well Cluster.

[13] This cluster was also the first light image for the Wide Field and Planetary Camera of the Hubble Space Telescope, taken in May 1990.

[15] A large stack of images of Arrokoth from August to December 2018 was used to confirm a closer flyby, rather than more distant by ruling out moons and rings systems to a certain level of detection.

[4] Specifications:[5][4] The mirror is made of silicon carbide which helped support meeting the thermal requirements of the design.

[20] The instrument is a thinned backside-illuminated charge-coupled device, and captures images at a resolution of 1024 by 1024 pixels, with a variety of exposure settings.

LORRI captured this panchromatic greyscale image of Pluto on July 13, 2015 when still almost half a million miles away from the icy dwarf planet.

This LORRI image, taken on December 5, 2017, broke the record for an image taken at the greatest distance from Earth, surpassing Pale Blue Dot taken on February 14, 1990, by Voyager 1 . [ 13 ]

This image taken by LORRI is among the highest resolution views of the surface of Pluto during the encounter, capturing an area 50 miles (80 kilometers) wide and over 400 miles (700 kilometers) long.
