Interesting tidbit from today's briefing at the Outer Planets Assessment Group (OPAG) meeting by NASA planetary leadership: NASA is considering *two* flagships for flight—one to Uranus, the other to orbit and land on Enceladus. Both were Decadal priorities—but in series, not one over the other.

Was there an update on timescale? One of the reasons UOP was ranked so highly by OWL was because of the relatively low technical risk and gravity assists that could have it arrive around 2040. However, that assumed using the early 2030s launch windows.
