新视野号的太阳风层科学研究即将迎来巨变吗？

新视野号在完成对木星、冥王星及柯伊伯带天体的探测后，目前仍在进行重要的太阳系科学研究。然而，受美国国家航天局（NASA）预算削减影响，该任务的部分科学研究可能最早于今年10月被迫终止。

If you visit the New Horizons mission website frequently, you'll notice that the spacecraft continues to generate excellent science as it plows its way through the Kuiper Belt. It recently woke up from its latest hibernation period in good health and is transmitting data it gathered back to Earth. The spacecraft, in addition to studying the Jupiter system in 2007, the Pluto system in 2015, and the Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth in early 2019, has been doing some other fascinating solar system science since then thanks to two mission extensions in 2016 and 2023. Now, as a result of budget cuts at NASA, an important part of the NH science mission could end as early as October of this year.
