The ETNA mission concept: Assessing the habitability of an active ocean world
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Enceladus is an icy world with potentially habitable conditions, as suggested by the coincident presence of a subsurface ocean, an active energy source due to water-rock interactions, and the basic chemical ingredients necessary for terrestrial life ...Ariel N.

, 2021 Enceladus is the first planetary object for which direct sampling of a subsurface water reservoir, likely habitable, has been performed. Over a decade of flybys and seven flythroughs of its watery plume, the Cassini spacecraft determined that Enceladus ...Vance, S. (Steven), Schmidt, Juergen, Sotin, C. (Christophe), Hedman, M.

Scientific Reports, 2022 Lake Untersee located in Eastern Antarctica, is a perennially ice-covered lake. At the bottom of its southern basin lies 20 m of anoxic, methane rich, stratified water, making it a good analog for Enceladus, a moon of Saturn.Nicole Yasmin Wagner, Dale T. Andersen, Aria S.

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2015 Observational data from the Cassini spacecraft are used to obtain a chemical model of ocean water on Enceladus. The model indicates that Enceladus' ocean is a Na-Cl-CO3 solution with an alkaline pH of ~11-12. The dominance of aqueous NaCl is a feature that Enceladus' ocean shares with terrestrial seawater, but the ubiquity of dissolved Na2CO3 suggests ...Glein, Christopher, Baross, John, Waite, Hunter +2 moreopenaire +2 more sourcesMoonraker -- Enceladus Multiple Flyby Mission [PDF]
, 2022 Enceladus, an icy moon of Saturn, possesses an internal water ocean and jets
expelling ocean material into space. Cassini investigations indicated that the
subsurface ocean could be a habitable environment having a complex interaction
with the rocky core.Boithias, H, Rannou, Pascal, Stephan, Katrin, Mandt, K.E., Munoz Caro, Guillermo M., Rauer, Heike, Renard, J. -B., Atkinson, D., Wurz, P., Vorburger, A., Mousis, Olivier, Brucato, J., Vernazza, P., Masters, A., Ize, J-C, Wieser, M, Cazaux, S.M., Berthomier, M, Wörner, L., Cable, Morgan, Le Maistre, S., Kempf, S., Renard, Jean-Baptiste, Martins, Z, Kolmasova, I., Rauer, H., Garnier, P., Mandt, K, E, Nenon, Q., Vaverka, Jakub, Faye, F., Coustenis, A., Masters, A, Schneeberger, A, Renard, J., Fornaro, T., Renard, J-B., Cazaux, S., Groussin, O, Stephan, K., André, N., André, Nicolas, Lellouch, E., Nénon, Quentin, FORNARO, Teresa, Berthomier, M., Lebreton, J-P, Hoolst, T.
