New Horizons
Crossed the Solar System in nine years to give humanity its first close look at Pluto, in July 2015, then went on to Arrokoth in the Kuiper belt on New Year's Day 2019 - the most distant object ever visited. It is still working outward, measuring the dust and the faintness of the sky out there.

- Launched
- 2006-01-19 - still working
Path
Open, set by Jupiter in 2007 and past changing. That is why Pluto and Arrokoth were flybys: at 14 km/s there was never fuel enough to stop at either.
Along the way
- Jupiter flyby, for the speed to reach Pluto
- Flew past Pluto - the first close look there had been
- Flew past Arrokoth, the most distant object ever visited
