minus-square zhunk ( @zhunk@beehaw.org ) OPlinkfedilink8•1 year agoThis is a real shame, but something had to give with so many uber expensive programs coming to a head at the same time. The missions sound incredible: a comet surface sample return a mission to Jupiter’s volcanic moon Io a lunar geophysical network a sample return mission to the moon’s South Pole-Aitken Basin a mission to characterize the potential habitability of Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus a probe of Saturn’s atmosphere.
