Enceladus Life Finder: відмінності між версіями

 

=== Концепт місії ===

The Enceladus Life Finder (ELF) mission would pursue the implications of [[Кассіні — Гюйгенс|''Cassini'']] orbiter's 2005 discoveries of active jetting from, and existence of an ocean within, Enceladus. The current mission concept would have the ELF orbiter fly 8 to 10 times over a period of 3 years through plumes of water launched above the south pole of [[Енцелад (супутник)|Enceladus]]. The geysers could provide easy access for sampling the moon's subsurface ocean, and if there is [[Мікроорганізми|microbial life]] in it, ice particles from the sea could contain the evidence [[Астробіологія|astrobiologists]] need to identify them.
