and will arrive at Jupiter and its moons in July 2031. In this review article, we describe how …

The primary objective of the Europa Clipper mission is to assess the habitability of Europa,
an overarching goal that rests on improving our understanding of Europa's interior structure …

INTRODUCTION The interior structure of Saturn, the depth of its winds, and the mass and
age of its rings have been open questions in planetary science. The mass distribution inside …

Saturn is orbited by dozens of moons, and the intricate dynamics of this complex system
provide clues about its formation and evolution. Tidal friction within Saturn causes its moons …

Geophysical data from the Cassini spacecraft imply the presence of a global ocean
underneath the ice shell of Enceladus, only a few kilometres below the surface in the South …

Moons potentially harbouring a global ocean are tending to become relatively common
objects in the Solar System. The presence of these long-lived global oceans is generally …

TRAPPIST-1 planets are invaluable for the study of comparative planetary science outside
our solar system and possibly habitability. Both transit timing variations (TTV) of the planets …

Its extraordinary level of geologic activity, its potential for habitability, and the prospects of
returning samples from its plume of erupting water ice make Saturn's small (∼ 500 km …

Four spacecraft have been sent to investigate the Saturnian system: Pioneer 11, Voyager 1,
Voyager 2, and Cassini. By analyzing data acquired with these spacecraft together with …

The plume of Enceladus is unique in the solar system in providing direct access to fresh
material from an extraterrestrial subsurface ocean. The Cassini Mission, though not …
