This seems like a good place to start off the Uranus and Neptune forum: with the next ice-giants mission.
I will admit to not knowing a whole lot about the Neptune Orbiter With Probes (NOWP), other than the fact that it's in the planning stages, and a few other details I've gathered from Wikipedia and various other Internet sources. Anyone care to get this one going with a bit more information? |

As a long-time lurker, sorry for spamming links, but I couldn't help but notice:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4515752.stm Of course, if such a mission were ever to fly, they'd likely ditch the probes/landers... (not that I am advocating that, but how many times have mission add-ons been sacrificed before the bottom line?) |
