Description
Summary:This paper discusses the calculation analysis of the possibility of creation of a probe for long-term contact study of the Neptune atmosphere on the basis a thermal balloon with a nuclear source of heat. The dependences of the required total mass of the probe on the payload mass have been obtained, that shows the possibility of creating such a probe weighing up to 2 tons.
