* NASA's ''New Horizons'' spacecraft, which visited Pluto in July 2015, has instruments named "Ralph" and "Alice". "Ralph" is a secondary telescopic camera used to apply color data in conjunction with its primary telescopic camera, LORRI. "Alice" is an ultraviolet imaging spectrometer used to determine the composition of the tenuous atmosphere of the Pluto-Charon minor planet binary system; it would also verify data about a "hydrogen wall" in the outer reaches of our Solar System collected by ''Voyager 2''. Versions of both instruments are being used in the ''Lucy'' spacecraft, launched in 2022 to explore the Trojan asteroids that co-orbit with Jupiter.
