The Solar Wind Around Pluto (SWAP) and the Pluto Energetic Particle Spectrometer Science Investigation (PEPSSI) are the two charged particle instruments included on the New Horizons mission to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt. Both were optimized for making measurements at the Pluto encounter. In addition to these measurements, both instruments have been taking and returning data almost continuously since early 2012. This work describes the quantitative combination of the plasma data obtained with the New Horizons SWAP instrument with the energetic particle data from the New Horizons PEPSSI instrument. This combined activity is providing our first-ever comprehensive look at the dynamics and evolution of the interplanetary plasma from Jupiter into the outer heliosphere and beyond.
