Aerial Vehicles to Detect Maximum Volume of Plume Material Associated with Habitable Areas in Extreme Environments [PDF]
Current technologies of exploring habitable areas of icy moons are limited to flybys of space probes. This research project addresses long-term navigation of icy moons by developing a MATLAB adjustable trajectory based on the volume of plume material ...

Transits of extrasolar moons around luminous giant planets
, 2016 Beyond Earth-like planets, moons can be habitable, too. No exomoons have been securely detected, but they could be extremely abundant. Young Jovian planets can be as hot as late M stars, with effective temperatures of up to 2000 K.

Flow and fracture of ice and ice mixtures [PDF]
Frozen volatiles make up an important volume fraction of the low density moons of the outer solar system. Understanding the tectonic history of the surfaces of these moons, as well as the evolution of their interiors, requires knowledge of the mechanical

Fusion of Visible and Thermal-Infrared Imagery for SLAM for Landing on Icy Moons [PDF]
This paper addresses the problem of localization for landing on the surface of icy moons, like Europa or Enceladus. Due to the possibility of specular reflection as well as high bulk albedo, icy surfaces present new challenges that make traditional ...

Cryogenic Viscous Liquids on Icy Moons [PDF]
, 2016 The study of cryogenically viscous liquids such as methane and ethane offers critical insight into the behavior of fluids on icy moons such as Saturn’s moon Titan. Shrouded by a hazy hydrocarbon shield, Titan’s significant nitrogen atmosphere of 1.5 bar,

The Chemical Inheritance of Icy Moons
AbstractLarge icy exomoons may represent a ubiquitous habitable environment yet remain on the fringes of detectability.   Despite decades of progress in theoretical work, the nature and origin of the solids which form the building blocks of  satellites remains a topic of debate. We utilize a radiation-thermochemical disk modeling code

DNA Polymerization in Icy Moon Abyssal Pressure Conditions
AstrobiologyEvidence of stable liquid water oceans beneath the ice crust of moons within the Solar System is of great interest for astrobiology. In particular, subglacial oceans may present hydrothermal processes in their abysses, similarly to terrestrial hydrothermal vents.
