Enceladus Life Finder: відмінності між версіями

'''Enceladus Life Finder''' ('''ELF''') is a proposed [[Астробіологія|astrobiology]] mission concept for a [[Національне управління з аеронавтики і дослідження космічного простору|NASA]] spaceprobe intended to assess the [[Життєпридатність планети|habitability]] of the internal aquatic ocean of [[Енцелад (супутник)|Enceladus]], which is [[Сатурн (планета)|Saturn]]'s [[Супутники Сатурна|sixth-largest moon]] and seemingly similar in chemical makeup to [[Комета|comets]]. The spaceprobe would orbit Saturn and fly through Enceladus's [[Гейзер|geyser-like]] plumes multiple times. It would be powered by energy supplied from solar panels on the spacecraft.
