Scientific paper
Enceladus, the tiny moon orbiting Saturn, has intrigued scientists through recent discoveries of unique surface features and a south-pole geyser. These discoveries from the Cassini mission have increased the importance of Enceladus as a target for future missions. Upon the recommendation of the NASA Advisory Council Planetary Science Subcommittee and the Outer Planets Assessment Group, NASA Headquarters' Planetary Science Division commissioned a pre-phase A study of Flagship missions to Enceladus. The trade space for this architecture study included single Enceladus flybys, Enceladus orbiters, Saturn orbiters that fly by Enceladus, landers, impactors and sample return missions. Technologies considered included solar electric propulsion systems and radioisotope power systems. Within this trade space, several promising concepts, including Saturn orbiters, Enceladus orbiters and landers, were developed.
