After flying past Pluto in 2015, the New Horizons spacecraft shifter course to encounter 2014 MU69, a much smaller body in part of the Kuiper Belt.
A controlled spacecraft impact into a crater in the lunar south pole plunged through the lunar soil, revealing water and other volatiles.
Radar mapping shows that Mars' thick north polar ice cap contains four dust-rich layers recording variation in the planet's orbit and only slightly depresses the underlying crust.
