The Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey recommended the Uranus Orbiter and Probe as the top priority Flagship for the decade 2023-2032. The Decadal mission concept included an instrumented orbiter plus an atmospheric probe, with a launch date in the early 2030s. Since the Decadal, some technical parameters such as launch date, cruise and tour trajectories, power system availability, etc., have evolved based on more information and budget realities. We invite contributions on updated mission design concepts; trajectory work; mission architecture trades, challenges, and solutions that enable robust exploration of the Uranian system; and innovative, but feasible, concepts that enhance the science return of the mission. We encourage submissions that include how cross-disciplinary science synergies are enabled by the updated work (e.g., cruise science), but discussions of specific instrumentation or science priorities do not fall under the purview of this session.
