}}{{mp|2014 MT|69}} (internally designated {{mp|0720090F}} in the context of the Hubble Space Telescope, and 7 in the context of the New Horizons mission) is a Kuiper belt object (KBO) and was formerly a potential flyby target for the New Horizons probe.[4]

Discovery and naming

{{mp|2014 MT|69}} was discovered with the help of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)[5] because the object has a magnitude of 27.3, which is too faint to be observed by ground-based telescopes. Preliminary observations by the HST searching for KBO flyby targets for the New Horizons probe started in June 2014, and more intensive observations continued in July and August.[6][7] {{mp|2014 MT|69}} was first discovered in observations on June 24, 2014 during the preliminary observations, but it was designated 0720090F at the time,[8] nicknamed "7" for short.[4][4] Its existence as a potential target of the New Horizons probe was revealed by NASA in October 2014,[4] but the official name {{mp|2014 MT|69}} was not assigned by the Minor Planet Center (MPC) until March 2015 after better orbit information was available.[4] The parameters of the orbit have the extremely large uncertainty of 9 because follow-up observations after discovery eliminated {{mp|2014 MT|69}} as a potential target of the New Horizons probe, and no further follow-up observations were made.[4]

Potential targets of the New Horizons mission

After having completed its flyby of Pluto, the New Horizons space probe was maneuvered for a flyby of at least one Kuiper belt object (KBO). Several targets were considered for the first such flyby. Potential target {{mp|2014 MT|69}} has a diameter between {{Convert|27|-|92|km|abbr=on}}, which is smaller than the other potential targets of the New Horizons probe. A potential encounter initially looked more feasible for {{mp|2014 MT|69}} than for {{mpl|2014 MU|69}}, but follow-up observations eventually ruled out {{mp|2014 MT|69}} as a potential target.[4][9] The potential targets for the New Horizons probe were PT1 and PT3, the KBOs {{mp|2014 MU|69}} and {{mpl|2014 PN|70}}, and the probe has sufficient fuel to maneuver to either PT1 or PT3. Potential target PT2, the KBO {{mpl|2014 OS|393}}, is no longer under consideration as a potential target.[10]

On 28 August 2015, the New Horizons team announced the selection of {{mp|2014 MU|69}} as the next flyby target.[11]
