内容記述 | NASA and ESA are planning a mission named 'Cassini' to place a spacecraft in Saturn orbit and deposit an atmospheric probe into the atmosphere of Titan. It is expected that the upcoming close flyby of Neptune and Triton by Voyager 2 will increase future scientific interest in more intensive exploration of that system. The purpose of this paper is to examine the feasibility of the extension of the Cassini spacecraft and Titan Probe designs to this expected future scientific need for longer-term orbital observations of Neptune and its satellites and for in situ exploration of the suspected Triton atmosphere with a probe vehicle. |
