Exploration of the Ice Giants, especially Uranus, via orbiter and atmospheric probes, is required to answer pressing science questions that have been raised in the latest Decadal Survey. Due to the distance the Ice Giants planets are from Earth, traditional fully-propulsive orbit insertion missions have transit times to these planetary bodies nearing 13-15 years. Additionally, a large amount of propellant mass (60-70% of total launch mass) for the orbit insertion maneuver is required, leaving less mass for the scientific payload and a planetary probe.
