"NASA's Mission to Uranus: Unveiling Icy Secrets of a Wild World"

Scientists are urging NASA to launch a robotic spacecraft to explore Uranus, one of the least explored planets in our solar system. An orbiter would spend years studying Uranus, its moons, and rings, providing valuable insights into the planet's composition, its tilted axis, magnetic field, atmospheric circulation, and the formation of ice giants. The mission would also investigate the possibility of oceans and potential for life on Uranus' moons. While no launch date has been set, the 2023 decadal survey of planetary scientists ranked a Uranus mission as the highest priority for a new NASA flagship mission.
