Since the Neptune Orbiter thread has started to veer into talking about a Uranus orbiter as well, it seemed like a good idea to start a topic for Uranus.

Will RTG power levels be sufficient to operate all the instruments in 2030?
Re-assembling a team to run 35 year old instruments on a 20-30 year old operational model could be costly compared to operations with the current technology of the time. While it would likely be cheaper than a future ground up Uranus flyby mission, the future mission would have better instrumentation for better science return. |
