Unlike rocky planets, giant planets don't have a surface to land on.Even in their lower atmospheres, they remain gaseous, reaching extremely high pressures that would crush any spacecraft well before it could land on anything solid.

If we launch during the next convenient launch windows of 2030-34 for Uranus and 2029-30 for Neptune, flight times would vary from 11 to 15 years.
