Abstract: 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 science of an ice giant system, including the planet, moons, rings, and magnetosphere. The ice giants represent a size class of planet that is largely unexplored but that is common among extrasolar planet systems. At the same time, Uranus is unique, possessing a regular satellite system, rings, and a complex magnetosphere surrounding a planet tilted over for extreme seasonal variation. Exploration of the Uranian system is guided by a broad suite of science Objectives and through remote sensing, in situ probe, and fields and particles experiments. Due to the rapid nature of the Decadal concept study, the orbital tour could not be perfectly optimized, but a best effort was made to include orbit insertion, probe release and relay, and multiple satellite flybys; some Objectives were necessarily better met than others by this tour. The mission's tour trajectory can be optimized to meet any of the Decadal Science Objectives, by focusing on a particular system target, for example magnetosphere, satellites, or planet interior, but the best tour will simultaneously meet the highest priority measurements for every Objective. The community-led (with no institutional or NASA sponsorship) poll described here was designed to collect broad science inputs on the tour parameters required for each Decadal Science Objective. Here we present results aggregated by Objective, as well as compared longitudinally, of the highest priority tour needs identified across all Objectives. Both the raw and aggregated data are made publicly available for future white papers, tour and trajectory work, as well as mission and instrument design teams, but the results are not binding nor decisional in any way.
Abstract: 太阳系行星科学和 astrobiology 十年调查中优先级最高的旗舰任务是天王星轨道器和探测器。 该任务使我们能够对一个冰巨星系统进行全面的、跨学科的研究,包括这颗行星、卫星、环和磁层。 冰巨星代表了一类主要未被探索但在外太阳系行星系统中很常见的行星大小类别。 同时,天王星是独一无二的,拥有规则的卫星系统、环和复杂的磁层,围绕一颗因极端季节变化而倾斜的行星。 对天王星系统的探索通过广泛的一系列科学目标和通过遥感、现场探测器实验以及场和粒子实验来指导。 由于十年调查概念研究的快速性质,轨道飞行无法被完美优化,但努力包含了轨道插入、探测器释放和中继、以及多次卫星飞掠;由于这个飞行计划,一些目标比其他目标更好地得到了满足。 通过专注于特定的系统目标,如磁层、卫星或行星内部,可以优化任务的飞行轨迹以满足任何十年调查科学目标,但最佳飞行轨迹将同时满足每个目标的最高优先级测量。 这里介绍的是由社区主导(没有机构或NASA赞助)的投票,旨在收集关于每个十年调查科学目标所需的飞行参数的广泛科学输入。 我们在此展示了根据目标汇总的结果,以及纵向比较的结果,这些结果来自所有目标中确定的最高优先级飞行需求。 原始数据和汇总数据均公开提供,供未来的白皮书、飞行和轨迹工作以及任务和仪器设计团队使用,但结果不具有约束力,也不做任何决策。
