论文摘要

自从天王星和海王星的Voyager 2蝇bys以来,已经过去了30多年。我讨论了从Voyager中学到的一系列经验教训,这些教训大致分为流程,计划和人员。在过程方面,我们必须对新概念开放:对现有仪器技术,推进系统和操作模式的依赖本质上是限制的。我列举了近几十年来的例子,这些例子可能会在探索深太阳系探索方面开辟新的远景。计划至关重要:持续三十多年来的任务差距在任务发展和目标本身中都留下了很多进化的范围。我仅简要介绍了行星科学,因为本期的其他论文中涵盖了行星科学,但是在本节中将检查衰老调查的作用。我还勾勒出不同的国际计划时间表的协调如何产生挑战和机会。最后,我转向人们:在任务之间存在世代相传的差距,知识和技能的连续性需要仔细关注人们。 Voyager任务中最年轻的参与者(包括我自己)现在退休了。我们在这里分享准备下一代旅行者的想法。

More than 30 years have passed since the Voyager 2 fly-bys of Uranus and Neptune. I discuss a range of lessons learned from Voyager, broadly grouped into process, planning, and people. In terms of process, we must be open to new concepts: reliance on existing instrument technologies, propulsion systems, and operational modes is inherently limiting. I cite examples during recent decades that could open new vistas in exploration of the deep outer Solar System. Planning is crucial: mission gaps that last over three decades leave much scope for evolution both in mission development and in the targets themselves. I touch only briefly on planetary science, as that is covered in other papers in this issue, but the role of the decadal surveys will be examined in this section. I also sketch out how coordination of distinct and divergent international planning timelines yields both challenges and opportunity. Finally, I turn to people: with generational-length gaps between missions, continuity in knowledge and skills requires careful attention to people. The youngest participants in the Voyager missions (myself included) now approach retirement. We share here ideas for preparing the next generation of voyagers.
