The images from the last week already revealed great details of the
highly structured surfaces of Pluto and Charon, but the flight path will
bring the satellite as close as 13700 km to the dwarf planet. The best
images will have a resolution of 76m/pix. However, there is not much
time for relaxed sightseeing. The probe travels with almost 13.8 km/s
relative to Pluto and the message home needs more than 4 hours.
