New Horizons II

[imran10]

Back to Uranus<br /><br /><i>"The most exciting candidate trajectory we have identified so far for New Horizons II takes it to the Kuiper Belt via a fast trajectory that involves both Jupiter and Uranus flybys on the way."<br /><br />"This trajectory would flyby a total of three or four KBOs, far more than the zero to one KBOs that can be reconnoitered by New Horizons I alone, owing to the well known power supply fueling problems New Horizons I has been saddled with."<br /><br />"New Horizons II’s Uranus 2014 flyby follow up to Voyager’s Uranus system explorations 30 years previously will be a stunning exploration accomplishment its own right—and again something only the United States can do."</i><br /><br />Back to Uranus at last! The best news I've read in a long time. Now if only they can put together a mission to Neptune..
