@@mr.hierkonnteihrewerbungst8555I mean the mission start date is no earlier than 2031 and the Uranus exploration segment is in the 2040s.

Pff, just as I was researching the UOaP mission study this video gets recommended to me. And just as I reached the part of the study with a hypothetical design for the probe I went “hmmmm, that looks familiar!”
I hope this mission will occur one day - I just hope that the hugely expensive Mars Sample Return project does not prevent this, especially when the samples returned from Mars will very highly likely show no sign of past or present life due to radiation bombarding the surface. If there is or was past life on Mars, then the MSR mission will be looking in the wrong place. We still know comparative very Little about Uranus compared with Mars, and discoveries there will be thrilling and exciting.
It could be launched on starship and the upper stage is expendable and it refueled in orbit, could give the probe a much faster boost than any other rocket and thereby get to Uranus sooner
Launching it on starship wouldnt change the arrival date by much, beacuse of the fact that it relies on gravity assists. What i mean by that is, to pull off a gravity assist you need good timing. Arrive too early, you miss the intended trajectory. Arrive too late, you miss the intended trajectory. You could in theory do a "fast" Uranus direct with starship, but i doubt that over 20 starships will be able to launch and rendezous with eachother (even in an earth escape trajectory!) by 2040. How would they even be able to burn ~11k delta-v in order to get to Uranus in a shorter period of time than with the assist. Would it even be cheaper by that point?
@@polishkerbal6920 Starship will demonstrate orbital refilling and use it on a crewed mission to the Moon before 2030. SpaceX's stated goals include sending many Starships to Mars per Mars transfer window on ~4 month trajectories, which requires each Starship to be fully refueled in Earth orbit). Not sure why there'd be any question as per getting a Starship fully refueled in LEO prior to 2040 unless you doubt the entire Artemis plan! By the way, great video thanks for posting :)
It’s a shame they never plan to attach cameras to gas giant atmospheric probes. Though with how hazy Uranus’s atmosphere tends to be I guess it’s probably the most excusable one.

@@lordfilippus8243I used max tech + Ka band, which has enough range to reach Uranus. The atmospheric probe used the internal probe antenna with max tech + Ka band, which used the Uranus Orbiter as a relay.
GG. I would be too old once this mission gets started - and I have to wait for another 13 years.
subbed for this
glad people are doing some of these uber far future concept missions!

Saving money, thats what its called😎
@@polishkerbal6920 🤨 I certainly hope you don’t typically spend money on KSP spacecraft designs
@@oberonpanopticon no i was refering to nasa saving money by using the cassini design😅
@@polishkerbal6920 Ahhh. I guess it is pretty similar to Cassini. Why mess with what works, after all!
Not sure how I missed this video until now. Very nice build btw.
To heck with the build,the maneuvering and realism is on point! Just finished video and was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Very awesome video!
Thanks for the support!
Great video!
Thanks

Yeah, i hope it occurs too
This will happen before Neptune Odyssey. Just like Galileo happened before Cassini.

This will be real one day. But, I need to wait for 18 years and I hope I can travel to another planet.

Its probably beacuse the camera wouldnt have the time to upload the photos beacuse the upload speed at that far is around 1 bit
So From Here(2032) to Uranus(2042)
Yeah, i doubt it will launch in 30's tho

What mod did you use for the heat shields on the atmospheric probe?
Pretty sure its called "RO heatshields"
@@polishkerbal6920 what about the antenna mod? theres no way that stock-ish antenna has the range to uranus, did you use any mod to enhance the range?

Is the probe to Uranus called an anal probe?
