Enceladus Clipper (upcoming mission)

The Enceladus Clipper is an upcoming space mission designed to study Saturn's moon Enceladus, which is known for its icy surface and subsurface ocean. The spacecraft will orbit Enceladus closely, analyzing plumes of water vapor and ice particles ejected from its geyser-like vents. By examining the composition of these plumes and the moon's ice shell, scientists aim to learn about the potential habitability and the presence of organic materials, helping us understand whether Enceladus could support life and revealing secrets about its icy environment and geologic activity.
