The problem with the scan platform on Voyager 2 is particularly annoying
for the Uranus encounter, because Voyager is going through the Uranus
system at almost a right angle to the plane of Uranus's moons.  This means
a fairly brief close-encounter phase with interesting objects in several
well-separated directions.  One can safely predict considerable tearing of
hair over the final pointing schedule, given the need to move the platform
slowly if at all.
