Saturn power generation with electrodynamic tethers in polar orbit

open access: yes, 2009
A power generation scheme based on bare electrodynamic tethers (EDT), working in passive mode is investigated for the purpose of supplying power to scientific missions at Saturn. The system employs a spinning EDT on a lowaltitude polar orbit which permits to efficiently convert plasmasphere energy into useful power.

Features in the Visible Spectra of the Enceladus Particle Plume and E Ring: Potential Evidence of Organic Materials and/or Missing Sub‐Micron Particles

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Visible spectra of the Enceladus particle plume and E ring contain evidence for a change in spectral slope around 0.5 μm. This feature can be seen in data obtained by both the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer and Imaging Science Subsystem onboard the Cassini Spacecraft, and is consistent with the slope change seen in the surface ...

A Physics‐Based Frequency‐Temperature Seismic Anelastic Attenuation Model for Planetary Ice Shells

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Intrinsic attenuation in planetary ices remains poorly constrained at seismic frequencies and low temperatures, limiting quantitative predictions of wave propagation in icy moons. Existing models typically rely on constant‐Q, or power‐law formulations that lack microphysical grounding and fail to capture the strong temperature sensitivity of ...

An Open‐Source Markov Chain Monte Carlo Inversion Software for the Analysis of Experimental Rock Deformation Data

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Despite its importance in modeling the interior dynamics of a planet, our understanding of interior rheology remains incomplete because of several reasons, including insufficient experimental data and inadequate analysis of the available data.

Coincident ENA and Narrowband Radio Emissions as Diagnostics of Inward Plasma Transport at Saturn

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Saturn's kilometric radiation (SKR) and Energetic Neutral Atom (ENA) emissions are important diagnostics of the planet's magnetospheric dynamics, intensifying during global plasma injections and displaying characteristic planetary periodicity. Related to the SKR emissions are myriametric narrowband radio emissions that typically appear in the ...

Low Frequency Extensions of Cyclotron Maser Instability‐Generated Radio Emission: A Statistical View From Cassini at Saturn

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Cassini spacecraft spent 13 years orbiting Saturn, quasi‐continuously measuring Saturn's radio emissions. One of the key elements of the radio spectrum at Saturn is the Saturn Kilometric Radiation (SKR), and several studies have been written on events called Low Frequency Extensions (LFEs) which represent strong, continuous extensions of ...
