An artist’s conception of AVIATR, an airplane mission to the second largest moon in our solar system: Titan |
“The goal of the plane concept – which according to Barnes can serve as a standalone mission or as part of a larger Titan-focused exploration program – is to study the moon’s geography (its mountains, dunes, lakes and seas), as well as its atmosphere (the wind, haze, clouds and rain. Did you know that Titan is the only other place is our solar system where it rains?)”
“Titan is the best place to fly an airplane in the whole solar system.”
