Dawn manages an acceleration of 7 m/s/d or about 81 microns/sec^2. :-) If it could accelerate full-time half-way to Eris and then decelerate full-time the other half, I figure it'd take under 70 years. However, if we could kick that up to 50 m/s/d, then it'd take right at 10 years.
(Someone should double-check these figures before launching their own mission, of course.) :-) --Greg |
