Discoveries made by the Cassini-Huygens mission reveal Saturn's moon Enceladus as a high science-value target for a future mission. Recent work at JPL to assessed the feasibility of various mission architecture options for Enceladus exploration. This poster discusses the feasibility of Enceladus flyby, orbiter, lander, impactor, and sample return missions.
In 2007 and 2008, NASA and ESA both commissioned studies of concepts for large missions that would investigate Enceladus either as a dedicated mission or jointly with Titan. This battery of studies included the 2007 NASA Enceladus Flagship study, the 2007 ESA TandEM study, and the 2008 joint NASA/ESA Titan Saturn System Mission study. We summarize these recent studies and present additional mission concepts beyond those examined in detail in these studies.
