Scientists to sail robot boat on methane lake of Saturn’s moon Titan
15 May 2011From the Guardian:
Space engineers are planning to build the first extraterrestrial boat. They want to launch the craft towards Titan – Saturn’s largest moon – and parachute it on to the Ligeia Mare, a sea of methane and ethane on its surface.The robot ship would sail around this extraterrestrial sea for several months, exploring its coastline and measuring the winds and waves that sweep its surface.
wow
Great. Another great inventions for the discovery of the sea of Saturn. But how large it is?
