Uranus Pathfinder
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uranus Pathfinder was a mission concept for the Uranian system evaluated in the 2010s by the ESA.[1] Scientists from the Mullard Space Science Laboratory in the United Kingdom proposed the joint NASA–ESA Uranus Pathfinder mission to Uranus. It would be a medium-class (M-class) mission to be launched in 2022, and was submitted to the ESA in December 2010 with the signatures of 120 scientists from across the globe. The ESA caps the cost of M-class missions at €470 million.[2][3][4]
