S26E73: Key building block for life found at Saturn’s moon Enceladus & Other Space News

Hello legends! We arrived at our next stop in our journey, orbiting around one of the most fascinating moons of Saturn, Enceladus, the Ice Queen. So despite her beauty, there may be some melancholic notes to feel the ice within. I had a lot of fun making it so I hope at least a small part of that joy will somehow melt the ice away.

"     For decades, scientists didn’t know why Enceladus was the brightest world in the solar system, or how it related to Saturn’s E ring. Cassini found that both the fresh coating on its surface, and icy material in the E ring originate from vents connected to a global subsurface saltwater ocean that might host hydrothermal vents.

     Before Cassini arrived at the Saturn system, planetary explorers only had hints that something interesting might be happening at Enceladus. Pictures from the Voyager spacecraft in the 1980s indicated that although this moon is small—only about 310 miles (500 kilometers) across—its icy surface is remarkably smooth in some places, and bright white all over.

     It was data from the magnetometer aboard the Cassini spacecraft that prompted scientists to take a closer look at Enceladus with a targeted flyby. Something—perhaps an atmosphere—was pushing against Saturn's magnetic field near Enceladus. This meant gases may have been originating from the moon's surface or interior.

     Cassini revealed the dramatic truth: Enceladus is an active moon that hides a global ocean of liquid salty water beneath its crust. What’s more, jets of icy particles from that ocean, laced with a brew of water and simple organic chemicals, gush out into space continuously from this fascinating ocean world. The material shoots out at about 800 miles per hour (400 meters per second) and forms a plume that extends hundreds of miles into space. Some of the material falls back onto Enceladus, and some escapes to form Saturn’s vast E ring.

     The E ring is mostly made of ice droplets, but among them are peculiar nanoparticles. Cassini detected these passing silica nanograins, which can only be generated where liquid water and rock interact at temperatures above 90 degrees Celsius (about 200 degrees F). This points to hydrothermal vents deep beneath Enceladus’ icy shell, not unlike the hydrothermal vents that dot the ocean floor here on Earth.

     Cassini flew by Enceladus for the last time in October 2015, but explorers will be poring over the data it sent home for years to come, planning for the day we return to delve deeper into its secrets. "

S02E33: SpaceX Mishaps, Hawaiian Fires from Space, and Martian Exploration: A Special Edition

The topic for this double episode is, as ever, the deep sea. But this time we are talking about the deep sea… Innnnnn Spaaaaaaaace! It turns out there is deep sea outside of earth in our solar system in the ice-covered moons of the gas giants. How likely are they to contain deep-sea life completely independent from the life that originated on earth? Thom chats with astrobiologist Kevin Peter Hand, author of Alien Oceans: The search for life in the depths of space, and director of NASA’s Ocean Worlds Lab. What are the best candidates for alien life in our solar system? What could that life be like and why does our own deep ocean provide a perfect test bed?

It turns out that the early versions of the vehicles which may some day explore these ocean worlds are already in development. Thom chats with Casey Machado, Research Engineer at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution about the Orpheus AUV, the first generation of such vehicle and a new asset to the exploration of our own deep ocean.

PRESSURISED: 014 - Space pt 1: Deep sea planets with Kevin Hand and Casey Machado

It came from not being able to stop hearing the song Jaws by Sleep Token in my head.

We kick off this episode with an exciting discovery - researchers have found evidence of a liquid ocean underneath the icy shell of Saturn's moon Mimas.
Your host discusses what this could mean for the potential of life in our Solar System.

In other news, the Ingenuity Mars helicopter completes its mission after 29 successful flights. We pay tribute to this pioneering technology demonstration and what it proved about flying on another world.

Speaking of other worlds, a new study hints that the composition of Uranus and Neptune may not be what scientists previously thought.

Moving closer to home, NASA confirms that a mysterious object which crashed through a Florida roof last month was indeed space junk from the International Space Station. 

We'll look at what this means for tracking space debris.

Liquid Oceans on Mimas and Beyond!

We open this episode discussing the shocking near-miss a NASA satellite had with space debris - and how the close encounter was even riskier than initially thought. 

Just how much danger do these orbiting objects pose?

Then we shift our focus to new research on Saturn's ocean moon Enceladus. 
Scientists say the subsurface sea could be capable of supporting life. 
What hints have they uncovered about potential habitats on this tiny world?

Staying on the theme of space sustainability, we look at India's ambitious goal to achieve debris-free space missions by 2030. 
How do they plan to mitigate orbital trash going forward?

In an eye-opening segment, We will explain how 41,000 years ago, Earth was bombarded by high levels of cosmic radiation due to our planet's weakened magnetic field at the time. 

What does this teach us about space radiation risks?

We wrap up charting the path ahead for space exploration while addressing environmental impacts and crew safety. 

From the moon to Mars, how can we explore responsibly?
