Identifying Fast Plasma Injections in Data From Saturn
Abstract In Paranicas et al. (2020), https://doi.org/10.1029/2020ja028299, we reported on a method to estimate the inflow speed of interchange injections in Saturn's magnetosphere. The procedure relies on phase space density conservation and mapping and an estimate of the size of the flux decrease along one edge of the injection.

Ocean stratification impedes particulate transport to the plumes of Enceladus
Water-vapour plumes erupting from Enceladus’ south pole provide a window into the properties of its subsurface ocean, a prime target in the search for life. However, the extent to which plume material represents conditions at Enceladus’ depths is unclear,

OnAIR: Applications of the NASA on‐board artificial intelligence research platform
Abstract Infusing artificial intelligence algorithms into production aerospace systems can be challenging due to costs, timelines, and a risk‐averse industry. We introduce the Onboard Artificial Intelligence Research (OnAIR) platform, an open‐source software pipeline and cognitive architecture tool that enables full life cycle AI research for on‐board ...

Towards Determining Biosignature Retention in Icy World Plumes
With the discovery of the persistent jets of water being ejected to space from Enceladus, an understanding of the effect of the space environment on potential organisms and biosignatures in them is necessary for planning life detection missions.

MEMS: The Sensory Nervous System for Embodied AI Robots
Embodied AI represents a shift of intelligence from virtual to physical realms, calling for efficient and multimodal perceptual capabilities. This review illustrates how Micro‐Electro‐Mechanical Systems (MEMS) offer miniaturized, low‐power sensors such as those for ranging, inertia, touch, sound and smell, which serve as robotic “sensory organs”.

Abstract Several missions to Venus have recently been selected for launch, opening a new era for the exploration of the planet. A key question these missions seek to address is whether Venus is geologically active today. Detecting active volcanism on Venus would contribute to a better understanding of volcanic and atmospheric processes on Earth.

A Comprehensive Framework for Assessing Terrestrial Analogue Field Sites for Ocean Worlds
Abstract Field studies at terrestrial analogue sites represent an important contribution to the science of ocean worlds. The value of the science and technology investigations conducted at field analogue sites depends on the relevance of the analogue environment to the target ocean world.

Ocean Dynamics of Outer Solar System Satellites
Ocean worlds are prevalent in the solar system. Focusing on Enceladus, Titan, Europa, and Ganymede, I use rotating convection theory and numerical simulations to predict ocean currents and the potential for ice‐ocean coupling.

Analysis of Ion Cyclotron Waves during Cassini’s Flybys of Enceladus
Ion cyclotron waves (ICWs) are ubiquitous phenomena within Saturn’s magnetosphere, particularly in the vicinity of Enceladus. This study focuses on the Cassini spacecraft’s flyby data of Enceladus to investigate the spatial distribution and properties of
