Abstract The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) of ESA was launched on 14 April 2023
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 …

Saturn's moon Enceladus has a potentially habitable subsurface water ocean that contains
canonical building blocks of life (organic and inorganic carbon, ammonia, possibly hydrogen …

The origin of Saturn's~ 26.7° obliquity and~ 100-million-year-old rings is unknown. The
observed rapid outward migration of Saturn's largest satellite, Titan, could have raised …

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 …

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 …

The origins of the giant planet satellites are debated, with scenarios including formation from
a protoplanetary disk, sequential assembly from massive rings, and recent accretion after …

We simulate the collision of precursor icy moons analogous to Dione and Rhea as a
possible origin for Saturn's remarkably young rings. Such an event could have been …

Context. Jupiter and its moons form a complex dynamical system that includes several
coupling dynamics at different frequencies. In particular the Laplace resonance is …
