Complexity produces delay and financial roadblocks. Simple robot scouts can be launched in time to utilize gravity assists from Jupiter in the early 2030s. Demands on NASA's budget from large missions, such as Mars sample return, will not allow Flagship missions to Uranus and Neptune in the near term. The science goals of Ice Giant exploration can be accomplished by a series of fast, simple, affordable (FSA) craft. Separate lines of cost-capped Orbiters and Probes would be launched at a cadence dictated by trajectories and funding. Contractors would be selected using competitive Announcements of Opportunity (AO). The march of progress in spacecraft technology offers hope and a path forward. The key is to start small and keep it affordable.","PeriodicalId":108352,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the AAS","volume":"103 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122033583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, Earth observations as a proxy for an exoplanet is an area of interdivisional research not well captured by existing NASA programs. To accommodate this, we propose adding Earth to the list of planets allowable by NASA Planetary Science Division’s objectives and adding Earth observation to the cruise phase of planetary probes. A specific research investigation would be a spacecraft whose goal would be to characterize Earth as an exoplanet proxy — a Pale Blue Dot Explorer. Such a mission’s objective would be to monitor the habitability and biological signatures of Earth in reflected light over broad wavelengths and phase angles.","PeriodicalId":108352,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the AAS","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128417128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
