Development of the NIM Mass spectrometer for Exploration of Jupiter’s Icy Moons Exospheres

, 2020
Investigation of habitable environments is one of the main objectives in upcoming space missions. The JUICE mission will investigate Jupiter’s environment in the solar system and its icy moons Ganymede, Callisto and Europa as examples for potentially ...

The Dust Halo of Saturn's Largest Icy Moon, Rhea

Science, 2008
Saturn'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.

The Icy Moons of Jupiter

2006
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

Spectroscopy of Icy Moon Surface Materials

Space Science Reviews, 2010
Remote 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 ...

Icy moon explorer gets glacial test

New Scientist, 2014
While Mars has long been the darling of NASA's robotic exploration efforts, in December astronomers revealed the first evidence that Europa is venting plumes of vapor into space--probably fed by the seemingly life-friendly ocean humans think is present under the ice.

Our Moon: Inhabited, Small and Icy

2018
Our Moon is unique in that no other planet has a moon as large as ours, relatively speaking. The mass of the Moon is 1.23% of the mass of Earth. The next relatively largest moons are Titan, only 0.024% of Saturn’s mass, and Triton, at 0.022% of the mass of Neptune. Among these contestants, our Moon stands out as relatively enormous compared with Earth,

Radar Glory from Buried Craters on Icy Moons

Science, 1986
Three ice-covered moons of Jupiter, in comparison with rocky planets and Earth's moon, produce radar echoes of astounding strengths and bizarre polarizations. Scattering from buried craters can explain these and other anomalous properties of the echoes. The role of such craters is analogous to that of the water droplets that create the apparition known
