Merge?[edit]

We should merge this with the Saturn Atmospheric Entry Probe article, making one longer article out of two short ones. Geoffrey.landis (talk) 14:30, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. Yes, it is a concept by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory submitted to the NASA Planetary Science Decadal Survey for the New Frontiers program. Authors Thomas R. Spilker, Reta Beebe, D. Atkinson, etc. authored both proposals. Nearly identical objectives, same payloads (Atmospheric Structure Instrument (ASI), 2 mass spectrometers). Likely, the proposal matured and changed name with the years. I don't think we have to undergo the formal Merge request and dance, do we? Rowan Forest (talk) 15:04, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
