Satellites around Uranus?

The article includes the following example of a FEC benefit: "Long-latency connections also benefit; in the case of a satellite orbiting Uranus, retransmission due to errors can create a delay of five hours". Please correct me if I'm wrong, but pretty sure there are currently no (nor have there ever been) man-made, transmitting satellites around Uranus. What an odd example, why not cite Juno orbiting Jupiter, or the MRO orbiting Mars? Jsinnreich (talk) 15:43, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
