Abstract

With the alignment of the planets in the 2030s, a perfect opportunity is presented to explore the outer reaches of the Solar System. With this, studying Uranus would become possible. With it being one of the least studied planets in the Solar System, the demand for accurate scientific data is high. This is where Ouranos comes in. This project has the specific purpose to design a scientific mission to Uranus, where measurements will be taken of its atmosphere. The summary below highlights the important parts and results of this report.
