Description	English: PIA19945: Sputnik Planum in Detail http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA19945 http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/figures/PIA19944_fig1.jpg http://www.nasa.gov/feature/pluto-wows-in-spectacular-new-backlit-panorama Sputnik Planum is the informal name of the smooth, light-bulb shaped region on the left of this composite of several New Horizons images of Pluto. The brilliantly white upland region to the right may be coated by nitrogen ice that has been transported through the atmosphere from the surface of Sputnik Planum, and deposited on these uplands. The box shows the location of the glacier detail images at PIA19944 and PIA19943. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, designed, built, and operates the New Horizons spacecraft, and manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. The Southwest Research Institute, based in San Antonio, leads the science team, payload operations and encounter science planning. New Horizons is part of the New Frontiers Program managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
