Kuiper Belt Explorer

This is a mission concept aimed at visiting several objects in the Kuiper belt. With the help of gravity assists from Jupiter and Neptune, the plan is to fly by nine Kuiper belt objects, making a wide range of observations possible, leading to a better understanding of the objects orbiting at the outer edge of the solar system.

Note: this is not a real mission concept. At the time of writing, there are no concrete proposals to visit one or several Kuiper belt objects.
