Shelved Europa Lander mission concept could be used to explore Enceladus instead
A team of engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has outlined the decade-long development and testing of what was originally known as the Europa Lander prototype—a partially autonomous robot designed to find out if Jupiter's moon Europa harbors life beneath its icy surface.
For about a decade, NASA was working on a four-legged robot to explore an icy moon. However, the mission was cancelled, but now there is hope again - and with it the chance of a unique space vehicle. (Continue reading)
As astronomers suggest, the Europa Lander mission could be used to explore Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, instead of Jupiter's moon Europa. The article Europa Lander Mission Could Explore Enceladus, a Moon of Saturn comes from the website Wszystko co końca.
PLANETARY EXPERIMENT: Scientists Propose Inoculating Enceladus With Earth Life
Saturn’s ice-covered moon Enceladus, long a focus of astrobiological interest due to its subsurface ocean and erupting geysers, is now at the centre of an audacious new scientific proposal: deliberately inoculating the moon with microbial life from Earth. Published in Space Policy in August 2024, the peer-reviewed study titled “Inoculating Enceladus” outlines a bold, multi-century […] The post PLANETARY EXPERIMENT: Scientists Propose Inoculating…
