Awesome, though it will obviously take a lot more than $15m or even $100m - Cassini-Huygens cost $3.6 billion. Personally I'd like to see NASA's project merge with the ESA's JUpiter ICy moons Explorer project - add some instruments or another probe to their launch instead of launching a completely separate craft. Although I guess this increases the risk - if the launch fails, both missions fail...
- rsynnott 13y agoJUICE came about due to the effective cancellation of Laplace (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EJSM/Laplace http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EJSM/Laplace), a joint ESA/NASA mission. Laplace died because the ESA didn't think that NASA's budget allowed it. The ESA mightn't be hugely keen on risking that scenario again.
