Since the Neptune Orbiter thread has started to veer into talking about a Uranus orbiter as well, it seemed like a good idea to start a topic for Uranus.

I wish I could post the entire paper, which is fairly interesting, but AIAA is, like many organizations, very fastidious regarding copyrights, and Doug's forum is fairly visible.

For $450, Amazon claims it can deliver a copy of the proceedings:

That's nuts.

I could post a scanned version of the Heaton and Longuski paper here (temporarily) but I'll let Doug decide since it's his forum. Of course, I'm assuming he's reading this thread.

I confess a burning desire to see the whole paper.

An amazing finding I hope is employed in future exploration plans of Uranus.

Comparing the Uranian staellites close up to all the other moons would synergistically expand our knowledge of all the objects.
