The exploration of icy moons in the outer Solar System is entering a transformative era, building on the legacy of the Galileo mission at Jupiter and Cassini at Saturn, and driven by upcoming missions such as ESA’s JUICE, NASA’s Europa Clipper, and Dragonfly, as well as future mission concepts targeting Enceladus. These efforts offer unprecedented [...]

What lies beneath the surface of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon? This question is central to the upcoming Dragonfly mission, which will deploy a drone equipped with scientific instruments on Titan’s surface in the coming years. Among them is a seismometer designed to record ground vibrations. But does Titan shake enough…
We will not review manuscripts for closed-access journals Scientific research in the field of planetary science is often, if not exclusively, undertaken using public funds, and the output of most research is published in scientific journals so that others may use and build upon the results. When scientific research is…

The Planetary Workforce Integration, Development, and Empowerment Community Alliance (PWIDE) has penned an open letter regarding…
