In the astronomy circle there is always news about Mars, Jupiter and Saturn because have some costliest spacecrafts floating around these planets and in some cases cruising on the surface of those plants and the planets that lie further away from the Sun don't get as much attention as the ones closer. But, this will change soon as NASA is currently planning some missions that will give us a closer look at Uranus than we have ever seen. The theoretical missions which would see NASA's spacecraft heading to both the planets, would be really huge. The objective is to determine what these planets are made of get and get a closer look at their atmospheric composition and take tons of epic photographs.
Researchers hope to study the weather and the overall climate while identifying how they fit into the solar system. Both Uranas and Neptune hold a great deal of secrects for the mankind yet to be discovered. The proposed missions would include flybys too both the planets in an orbiter that would send an atmospheric probes into them in order to sample its gases and detect elements that would bring us closer to these far away worlds.
The actual details of the missions are yet to be made official. These missions are still a long way from the reality both in funding and in the timeframe. NASA believes that 2030 through 2036 would be a feasible time frame for a Uranus trip, while Neptune mission would take plac before 2030 or after 2040 due to the timing of a gravity assisted booster around Jupiter.
In any way, these expeditions are going to be worth every effort put into them to bring mankind more closer to the Universe that has been know to us for more than 300 years.
Thank you for reading. If you found this post interesting, I'd appreciate an upvote, follow and resteem. Also, I'd love to hear your views about how much we know about the solar system in the comments.
Thank you for the nice article. My only regret is I won't ever travel into space. I kinda always wanted to.
I don't see a reason why space travel will not get commercial in the next 30-40 years. Just hold on.
