ESA Probe for Investigation of the Giants
ESA’s EPIG CDF study assessed a European stand-alone carrier spacecraft that would deliver an atmospheric entry probe to an Ice Giant, with Uranus as the baseline and Neptune or Saturn as alternatives. The carrier would relay probe data; the study is a feasibility assessment, not a selected or flight-approved mission.
