Hi...just wondering if anyone has a reliable source for the height of Miranda's spectacular Verona Rupes fault scarp? Estimates for the height range from 5 km to 20 km.
Thanks, --Phil -------------------- Twitter: @philna | seattle.wa.usa

An atmosphere probe would work in terms of fast transit time, right? It wouldn't be doing much in terms of moon imaging, but it would be cheap and fast.
Maybe by the next equinox there will be some reliable aerocapture method, removing the ability for an impractically sized heatshield. Or just nuclear engines while we're still dreaming... MOD: Guys, kinda veering off topic here. Pretty sure there's a dedicated Uranus orbiter thread for this. |
