^^ Did this article have a Concept mission for Uranus/Neptune ? Kinda. The last paragraph of the article entitled "Return to the Ice Giants" suggested Uranus and Neptune and their moons provide "rich targets" for future orbiting spacecraft. Launch opportunities for Uranus and Neptune occur "around 2030, leading to encounters around 2040". Uranus in particular "presents a timely opportunity" in that by 2050 a spacecraft still in orbit can view portions of Uranus and its moons not seen during the Voyager flyby. |
