Uranus mission budget

Uranus mission budget
Uranus mission budget Estimated costs of Uranus mission elements from the Decadal Survey’s Ice Giants Decadal Study Mission Concept Study. The Tier 1 (highest priority) science orbiter costs are near the cost of a New Frontiers mission. Many observers have commented that the Decadal Survey mission costs were conservative (i.e., erred on the high side) so a New Frontiers Uranus orbiter might fulfill all the Tier 1 goals. Van R. Kane
