A once-a-decade survey from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine has outlined high-priority missions for space, including a probe to Uranus and searching for life on Saturn’s moon.
The large "flagship" missions seek to address broad, high-priority science objectives and come with a particularly high price tag.
Two of the newest missions that have top priority following the decadal survey include the Uranus Orbiter and Probe and the Enceladus Orbilander missions.The UOP aims to deliver a probe and conduct multi-year orbital tours around Uranus, which has never been visited by a dedicated probe. Scientists hope to launch the probe sometime in 2031 and 2032 because, during these years, Jupiter’s gravity can assist with shortening cruise time.The Enceladus Orbilander mission has been categorized as the second-highest priority, according to the survey. Scientists aim to send the Orbilander to Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, to search for evidence of life.
