Jupiter ICY moon explorer (JUICE): Advances in the design of the radar for Icy Moons (RIME)
2015 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2015This paper presents the Radar for Icy Moon Exploration (RIME) that is a fundamental payload in the Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE) mission of the European Space Agency (ESA). RIME is a radar sounder aimed to study the subsurface of Jupiter's icy moons Ganymede, Europa and Callisto.

Spectroscopy of Icy Moon Surface Materials
Space Science Reviews, 2010Remote sensing of icy objects in the outer solar system relies upon availability of appropriate laboratory measurements. Surface deposits of specific substances often provide our most direct route to understanding interior composition, thereby informing theories of endogenic surface modification, exogenic surface processing and processes involving ...

The Dust Halo of Saturn's Largest Icy Moon, Rhea
Science, 2008Saturn's moon Rhea had been considered massive enough to retain a thin, externally generated atmosphere capable of locally affecting Saturn's magnetosphere. The Cassini spacecraft's in situ observations reveal that energetic electrons are depleted in the moon's vicinity.

LUNAR AND PLANETARY SCIENCE CONFERENCEHOUSTON, TEXAS-- Two planetary scientists suggested an explanation for the geophysical oddity of geysering at the south pole of Enceladus at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, held here from 13 to 17 March: An imbalance in the saturnian satellite's innards may have rolled it over to bring the geysering ...

Astrobiology of Jupiter's icy moons
SPIE Proceedings, 2004Jupiter's Icy Moons, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, may possess energy sources, biogenic molecules, and oceans below their icy crusts, thus indicating a strong possibility that they were abodes for present or past life. Life in Earth's icy areas lives in a wide variety of habitats associated with the ice, in the water column below the ice, and on the ...

FOR THE FIRST TIME, scientists have directly examined the contents of an icy lunar crater, showing that the surface contains a high percentage of water, much of which is in the form of pure ice crystals, possibly deposited by a comet. The debris kicked up from a lunar crater bombarded by the upper-stage rocket of NASA’s LCROSS spacecraft last year was ...

For Principal Investigator Michele Dougherty of the Magnetometer (MAG) team, the Cassini mission highlight occurred in February 2005. This was when she and her colleagues determined that Saturn’s magnetic field lines were unexpectedly bending as they went by the satellite Enceladus. This was possibly a sign that the tiny moon, even with its low gravity,

The Galilean satellites formed in a nebula of dust and gas that surrounded Jupiter toward the end of the formation of the giant planet itself. Their diverse initial compositions were determined by conditions in the circum-jovian nebula, just as the planets’ initial properties were governed by their formation within the circum-solar nebula. The Galilean
