Interplanet Janet Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Anyway... how will we handle the Jupiter flyby? Saturn? Haumea? Anyone? I believe maybe Jupiter could me used as a calibration test for the instruments... maybe also as a guide-star for operations? (no wait... how about Sirius?) Saturn would provide nice science opportunities. How big of an antenna would it be to receive data rather quickly from astronomical distances?

Interplanet Janet Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 The Saturn Atmospheric Entry Probe would be the primary mission, with Haumea as a potential extension. This is how I was planning, based on budgetary constraints and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interplanet Janet Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 What other gas giant-KBO missions does anyone want to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's on an escape trajectory from the Solar System, what cargo will it carry for aliens to find? Maybe a CD in the style of Voyager's gold record? Plus it would be nice if Mike Brown's ashes joined the mission.

That would probably be feasible and awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
