ESA has published a series of "white paper" studies on its next two large missions (L2 and L3), to be launched during the 2020s. pick your favorite!
http://sci.esa.int/science-e/www/object/do...fobjectid=52029 I doubt a planetary mission will be selected for either mission, since L1 is the JUICE Jupiter-Ganymede orbiter, but you never know... |

When is a decision likely to be made?
Uranus/Neptune is cool (especially since I'm not old enough to have seen Voyager 2 at those planets) but "In situ Investigations of the Local Interstellar Medium" sounds really interesting, too. |
