The concept of a new
mission to discover Saturn's largest moon is a machine capable of driving on
the surface of Titan on the wheels, and then turn the boat and walk with blades
and propeller on hydrocarbon seas second largest satellite solar system.
The mission of
"Cassini-Hyuygens" Titan is actively studied in the 2000s, was able
to stay a short time on the surface of its seas.
The new mission, called
Titan Lake In-situ Sampling Propelled Explorer will land in the middle of the
largest lake in Titan's called Sea Ligei will float to the coast, along the way
making scientific measurements. The expedition will last from six months to a
year.
Titan is too low to
sustain life temperature, but it is rich in nitrogen atmosphere, a lot of
organic compounds that could play a significant role in the origin of life on
Earth.
The project mission was
presented at the European Congress of planetary science September 27.
