Enceladus: post-Cassini insights into organics and an ESA L4 mission proposal

This webinar is centred around Saturn’s moon Enceladus with two presentations. Nozair Khawaja (Freie Univerisität Berlin) will discuss the current status of organics detected in the plume material emerging from Enceladus’ south polar region by Cassini’s mass spectrometers. He will explore the latest results on the origin of these organics and methods for tracing their molecular trail from Enceladus’s core to its plume. Enceladus mission study scientist Jörn Helbert will present the new ESA L4 mission concept to explore this exciting moon. This webinar also marks the first in a new collaboration between Europlanet and EU-funded COST Action PLANETS.
