Scientific paper

One way to test different solar system formation theories would be to measure the atmospheric composition of all gas giants. These measurements could give an indication on the composition of the original accretion disk that preceded the planets. Comparisons with the forecasted composition resulting by different models might then shed some light into how our solar system has evolved. As the interesting well-mixed region often lies deep within the target atmosphere, in-situ measurements up to depths of 10 - 50 bars of all the gas giants are needed ,and a case for such a mission has been raised by Atreya et al, 2006 [1]. We propose here a mission that could answer this call and name it tentatively as JUSAUNE (JUpiter, SAturn, Uranus and NEptune - sail).
