Deliverable mass for example SEP trajectories. For flight times of 12–14 yr, sufficient mass can be inserted in Uranus orbit with repeatable launch windows; if less delivered mass is required, flight times can be reduced further. This example uses the Hall PPS500 thruster performance (Englander et al. 2026).
