Excuse the triple comment. I only hit the key once, but it came out three times.

Ya know, the Huygens lander had both radar and a microphone that sent back audio of its descent onto Titan.
I remember Jim Bell of the Mars rovers team admitting that they just didn't think of equipping the rovers with mics until it was too late.
My point being that gas spectrometry will eventually make it in to probes, especially those destined for the gas giants.

Did they finally end that stupid joke once and for all?

Had they instead used the Super Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectrometer, they would have been able to ascertain this more quickly

"Suffocation and exposure in the negative 200 degrees Celsius [minus 328 degrees Fahrenheit] atmosphere, made of mostly hydrogen, helium, and methane, would take its toll long before the smell."
Good luck on the journey from earth, which will take at least nine years according to Voyager.
If you can survive that, and those insanely cold temps, you might have about a half-second to whiff the atmosphere.
If you survived the descent into Uranus' dense clouds, and not get crushed by the pressure.
But I have read that said pressure makes for lakes of pure diamond.
So Uranus MAY smell like a$$, but you'll be rich. Which is nice.

So there is a paper mill on Uranus?
It’s just a good thing your nose is a long way
from Uranus...
I think there is a cheese factory there,
where it’s cut.
