New mission to Neptune?
NASA Selects Boeing for Neptune Missions Study Grant
Good news for those who want a mission to Neptune.
Neptune is visually one of my favorite planets. I love its deep blue colors, but what else does it have besides looks.
It has an ocean of water (impure with ammonia and other elements) that is about 10,000 miles deep. I would like to see a tough probe dropped, taking some pictures of the upper atmosphere- blue sky, white clouds and all, before plunging into this ocean. There is probably not a distinct surface to this ocean, but there might be.
Then there is Trition, with its nitrogen geysers. A MER type lander would be great here.
