Probe missions to the outer planets must consider the effects of dispersions in entry and communication parameters which results from navigation and executions errors. Presented are navigation analyses and trends in entry and communication dispersions for probe missions to Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. It is shown that the dispersions at Jupiter are dominated by execution errors while the dispersions at Uranus are totally influenced by navigation uncertainties. It is further shown that a successful probe mission to Uranus requires an optical navigation capability aboard the spacecraft to yield a reasonable entry footprint.
