Titan Mare Explorer (TiME)

The Titan Mare Explorer (TiME) is a proposed space mission designed to explore Titan, Saturn's largest moon, by landing on its surface and floating on its methane lakes. Titan has a thick atmosphere and bodies of liquid hydrocarbons, making it unique in the solar system. TiME's goal is to study Titan's weather, surface composition, and potential habitability by observing the lakes and atmosphere directly. Equipped with scientific instruments, the mission aims to provide insights into Titan’s climate, chemistry, and the possibility of hosting life, helping us understand complex prebiotic environments beyond Earth.
