Autonomy for Ocean Worlds Exploration
Conference Paper, Proceedings of American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, December, 2019
Abstract
One of the most profound discoveries in planetary exploration is the evidence for large quantities of liquid water on several bodies in our Solar System, aptly named" Ocean Worlds". In an effort to extrapolate our understanding of life on Earth to the cosmos," go to the water" has become the guiding principle in our search for evidence of extraterrestrial life. Thus, Ocean Worlds have become key astrobiology targets, and many outstanding questions can only be answered through direct contact with their subsurface liquid water.
