Scientific paper

We propose a mission to the Neptune system comprised of an orbiter with a Neptune atmospheric multi-probe. NASA's Solar System Exploration theme listed a Neptune mission as one of its top priorities for the mid-term (2008-2013). A recent NASA study also gave it top ranking for rich scientific return and connections to astrophysical problems outside the Solar System (atmospheric structure and dynamics; geology; ring systems/dynamics; magnetic fields/dynamos; pre-biotic chemistry on Triton; local extrasolar planet analog), calling it 'almost Cassini-like in scope, near Discovery-like in cost'. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
