The NASA Europa Clipper mission will explore Jupiter’s icy moon via multiple flybys in the early 2030s (Pappalardo et al., 2024). ocean world is one of most promising locations to search for life elsewhere Solar System and thus, Clipper’s main goal characterize Europa’s habitability (Vance 2024).In future, a follow-on landed may possibly from its surface (Phillips revision). Based on current technology, terrain relative navigation (TRN) would be used safely...
A nearly pole-to-pole survey near 140°E longitude on Europa revealed many areas that exhibit past lateral surface motions, and these were examined to determine whether the motions can be described by systems of rigid plates moving across Europa's surface. Three showing plate-like behavior in detail sequence events deformed All three reconstructed reveal original pre-plate motion surfaces performing multi-stage rotations spherical coordinates. Several observed along single plate boundaries...
We argue that taxonomical concept development is vital for planetary science as in all branches of science, but its importance has been obscured by unique historical developments. The literature shows the planet developed scientists during Copernican Revolution was theory-laden and pragmatic science. It included both primaries satellites planets due to their common intrinsic, geological characteristics. About two centuries later non-scientific public had just adopted heliocentrism motivated...
The NASA Europa Clipper mission [1] will explore Jupiter’s icy moon via multiple flybys in the early 2030s. ocean world is one of most promising locations to search for life elsewhere Solar System [2, 3, 4, 5] and thus, Clipper’s main goal characterize Europa’s habitability. In future, a follow-on landed may possibly from its surface. science team, work Reconnaissance Focus Group has been assess trajectory opportunities [6]. Here we show that 12 49 currently...
