Situated in the midst of the so-called ‘frozen frontier’, Uranus has solely been visited as soon as – a brief flyby when it was commanded by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1986. One of many eight planets in our photo voltaic system, Uranus, together with Neptune, is the one main class of planets but to have a particular exploration mission.
However that may change as area businesses plan to launch a spacecraft into the outer photo voltaic system to probe Uranus, a world with rings, moons, and a fancy environment, in larger element than ever earlier than. The duty is thrilling. Uranus rotates on its aspect and consequently has probably the most excessive seasons we all know of.
On this free one-hour webinar, you will meet scientists who’re excited for a mission to the second outermost planet and the third largest planet within the photo voltaic system. There are apparent difficulties in launching a mission to journey such a distance, about three billion kilometers from the Solar, and ordering a spacecraft to conduct scientific analysis when it arrives. Through the interactive session, our visitor panel will share what we realized about Uranus from the knowledge it gathered because it handed by Voyager, and from subsequent superior ground- and space-based telescope research. They can even clarify what the scientific priorities are for a particular Uranus mission and what else we will be taught from visiting this icy big.
This webinar will probably be appropriate for anybody keen on exploring Uranus, photo voltaic system science and area science. We’ll have a look at the science of the ice big intimately, together with its origin and evolution, and be taught what we all know thus far about its deep inside, in addition to delving into the chemistry of its environment. Our panel can even talk about selections made by area businesses world wide as they put together to launch the spacecraft into the outer photo voltaic system within the coming years.
After you join the webinar, you might need to be taught extra in regards to the matter from this final characteristic. Chemistry World by Anthony King: Mission to Uranus
