Will Musk take the jokes beyond Mars? 😯
published on Wednesday, the survey hints that NASA should undertake a flagship mission to Uranus on SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket. , the proposal has been under work for several years by a team that includes scientists from NASA, the University of California, and Johns Hopkins University. Now, with SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket, the researchers feel they have the technology to make their long-held dream a reality.
The survey’s authors don’t come out and straight-up say that, but they do mention that “a Uranus mission is favored because an end-to-end mission concept exists that can be implemented in the 2023-2032 decade .” This leaves a choice between Falcon Heavy, United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan Centaur, Blue Origin’s New Glenn, and NASA’s Space Launch System .However, delays and other issues are holding back the other systems.
If all goes well with Falcon Heavy and the mission goes forward, the UOP mission to Uranus could offer the most in-depth information ever gathered on what is basically a rather unexplored planet. The only spacecraft to have visited Uranus, NASA's Voyager 2, only made a flyby in 1986, gathering very little viable information.
