This just out. Not earth-shattering, but colorful - maybe handy as an up-to-date

Well, you can ask, but as I have said before, I have a policy of not discussing ongoing implementation issues, spacecraft crises etc. This is more along the lines of the reply that I was expecting, so thanks for the additional insight. IIHO, the Saturn system really could use a longer duration observation campaign if only because the seasonal effects are so much stronger at Saturn than at Jupiter. Having a good set of eyes in the system will out-perform anything we have here on the ground. But that being said, there’s always the trade-off between getting as much science done as possible today and saving resources in order to observe at a later date. Engineering, budgetary, and random constraints always put uncertainty on the “later date”. You guys are the experts, so keep on trucking and good luck with the real policy decisions that allow so much great work to be done in the first place. |
