Can someone explain why they had to set up a temporary telescope in Argentina to get data from a probe? If the article explained it, I missed that part.

They used Earth based telescopes to find a more accurate information about MU69. In order for New Horizons to get good pictures they need to know exactly where it is, how big it is, and how reflective it is.
