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? |

Thanx, appreciate the clarification very much.
Some days I just shouldn't try to do anything without coffee . . . But . . . . Over time, it seems the orientations of these orbits might change (while maintaining their respective inclinations) and at various epochs (not ours, unfortunately) the orbital planes might turn in to relatively coplanar alignment. Do we have any idea how fast this might happen at Neptune? |
