Abstract

Physics - Earth and Planetary Astrophysics Physics - Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics
Ice giants are the only unexplored class of planet in our Solar System. Much that we currently know about these systems challenges our understanding of how planets, rings, satellites, and magnetospheres form and evolve. We assert that an ice giant Flagship mission with an atmospheric probe should be a priority for the decade 2023-2032.
