Scientific paper

The formation and evolution of the icy satellites of the giant planets are discussed. The post formation satellite material is supposed to be a porous icy/rocky regolith. It is evolving due to self compaction at different temperature conditions. The icy/rocky granular samples are compacted within a piston-cylinder system at constant pressure from 2.2 to 17.7 MPa and at different temperatures from 262 to less than 140 K. In another series of experiments the pressure applied ranges from 80 to 820 MPa. The temperature is maintained at 213 K. The results concerning porosity decrease rate show that porosity within the deep interior of the satellites can survive until present time.
