Ice Giants Pre-Decadal Survey Mission Study Report
M. Hofstadter, A. Simon, K. Reh +26
The Ice Giants Study was commissioned by NASA to take a fresh look (as of 2017) at science priorities and concepts for missions to the Uranus and Neptune systems in preparation for…
Uranus Flagship Science-Driven Tour Design: Community Input Poll
Amy Simon, Ian Cohen, Matthew Hedman +3
The highest priority Planetary Flagship from the Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey is the Uranus Orbiter and Probe. This mission enables broad, cross-disciplinary s…
Keys of a Mission to Uranus or Neptune, the Closest Ice Giants
Tristan Guillot, Jonathan Fortney, Emily Rauscher +26
Uranus and Neptune are the archetypes of "ice giants", a class of planets that may be among the most common in the Galaxy. They hold the keys to understand the atmospheric dynamics…
Ice Giant Atmospheric Science
Emma K. Dahl, Shawn Brueshaber, Richard Cosentino +24
This white paper, written in support of NASA's 2023-2032 Planetary Decadal Survey, outlines 10 major questions that focus on the origin, evolution, and current processes that shape…
Ice Giant System Exploration in the 2020s: An Introduction

The international planetary science community met in London in January 2020, united in the goal of realising the first dedicated robotic mission to the distant Ice Giants, Uranus a…
Exploration of the Ice Giant Systems: A White Paper for NASA's Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey 2023-2032
Chloe Beddingfield, Cheng Li, Sushil Atreya +9
Ice giants are the only unexplored class of planet in our Solar System. Much that we currently know about these systems challenges our understanding of how planets, rings, satellit…
The Science Case for Spacecraft Exploration of the Uranian Satellites
Richard J. Cartwright, Chloe B. Beddingfield, Tom Nordheim +14
The five classical Uranian moons are possible ocean worlds that exhibit bizarre geologic landforms, hinting at recent surface-interior communication. However, Uranus' classical moo…
