ESA prepares to land on Enceladus: The hidden ocean world that may hold the first evidence of alien life

The European Space Agency is planning an ambitious mission to Saturn's moon Enceladus, launching in the 2040s. Utilizing an orbiter and lander, the mission will directly sample material from the moon's subsurface ocean via its geysers. Scientists aim to analyze these plumes for clues to extraterrestrial life, making Enceladus a prime target in the search for life beyond Earth.
