NASA spacecraft on standby to grab some pieces of Asteroid Bennu
NASA spacecraft on standby to grab some pieces of Asteroid Bennu
Ahistoric moment is on the horizon for NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission. In just a few weeks, the robotic OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will descend to asteroid Bennu’s boulder-strewn surface, touch down for a few seconds and collect a sample of the asteroid’s rocks and dust – marking the first time NASA has grabbed pieces of an asteroid, which will be returned to Earth for study.
On Oct. 20, the mission will perform the first attempt of its Touch-And-Go (TAG) sample collection event. This series of maneuvers will bring the spacecraft down to site Nightingale, a rocky area 52 ft (16 m) in diameter in Bennu’s northern hemisphere, where the spacecraft’s robotic sampling arm will attempt to collect a sample.
Site Nightingale was selected as the mission’s primary sample site because it holds the greatest amount of unobstructed fine-grained material, but the region is surrounded by building-sized boulders. During the sampling event, the spacecraft, which is the size of a large van, will attempt to touch down in an area that is only the size of a few parking spaces, and just a few steps away from some of these large boulders.
To ensure that the spacecraft touches down on a safe area that avoids the region’s many boulders, the navigation system is equipped with a hazard map of site Nightingale, which delineates areas within the sample site that could potentially harm the spacecraft.
If the spacecraft’s NFT system detects that it is on course to touch one of these hazardous zones, the spacecraft will autonomously wave off its approach once it reaches an altitude of 16 ft (5 m). This keeps the spacecraft safe and allows for a subsequent sample collection attempt at a future date.
OSIRIS-REx is charged with collecting at least 2 oz. (60 grams) of Bennu’s rocky material to deliver back to Earth – the largest sample return from space since the Apollo program.
The spacecraft is scheduled to depart Bennu in 2021 and it will deliver the collected sample to Earth on Sep. 24, 2023.

UFOs filmed over Brentwood, California 26-Sep-2020
UFOs filmed over Brentwood, California 26-Sep-2020
These triangular-shaped UFO formation was filmed in the sky above Brentwood, California yesterday (26th September 2020).
Witness report:
Triangle shaped w/ 4 witnesses. At around 7pm, my family of 3 plus an Xfinity internet installer witnessed a UFO hover in a position near a star/planet to the right of the moon for about 10 minutes. It appeared out of nowhere. It was triangular in shape, had 2 blinking red lights and one blue/green light that fluctuated but seemed to have a rhythm. We also spotted an occasional white light near it, a couple of which seemed to shoot out like falling stars. The lights were patterned and consistent at first, then starting blinking very quickly and changed color. At that point, the object descended from a celestial location directly downward so fast, it fell from view in about 10 seconds. About 10 minutes later, we saw it ascend at equally high speed until it disappeared from our view. I took 2 videos, but they are crappy as it was dark.

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission is nearing its objective — the asteroid Bennu.
The mission aims to sample at least 60 grams (2.1 ounces) of material from the asteroid 101955 Bennu and was launched in 2016. The craft itself has spent the last four years in transit to its objective and is expected to touch down on October 20,accordingto the agency.
If successful, OSIRIS-REx (which stands for Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer) will be the first U.S. mission to return from space with samples of an asteroid.
Parking far from home
“Years of planning and hard work by this team are essentially coming down to putting the TAGSAM (Touch-And-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism) into contact with the surface for just five to 10 seconds,” said Mike Moreau, OSIRIS-REx deputy project manager.
In that short span of time, the craft will collect samples of rock and dust to bring back home for researchers to analyze. They hope to find more information on the early days of the solar system locked inside its chemical and geological make-up. Ideally, Bennu’s barren, rocky surface can help us better understand how planets and life came to be — including whether asteroids had anything to do with ‘seeding’ the building blocks of life on Earth.
NASA has chosen a spot some 16 meters (52 feet) in diameter called Nightingale as their landing spot. This will also serve as the sampling location. It was chosen because it’s the largest area we could identify that looks clear of debris, and was thus one of the best places where the craft’s robotic arm actually has a chance of retrieving the samples we need.
Still, this poses a challenge. The spacecraft is about the size of a van, and the space isn’t particularly large. Due to the distance between Bennu and Earth, any messages sent between them would need around 18.5 minutes to transmit. As such, the landing procedure will be performed autonomously.
Hopefully everything goes well. If it does, the lander should bring its samples back home sometime in late September, 2023.
But now, physicists have run computer simulations to show that certain types of black holes – large, rotating ones – could serve as portals for hyperspace travel.
Some physicists believe that you’d arrive at a remote part of the Milky Way or perhaps in another galaxy altogether.
One of the safest passageways might be the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, called Sagittarius A*.
Following is a transcript of the video.
Narrator:Black holes skirt the line between science fiction and science fact. On the one hand, scientists have seen real black holes in action, consuming unsuspecting stars that pass too close. But where reality ends and fiction takes over is at the edge of a black hole – a place called the event horizon, where no spacecraft has ever gone.
So, whatever happens beyond that boundary, inside of a black hole, is anyone’s guess. Scientists agree that if you travel far enough into a black hole, gravity will eventually become so strong that it kills anything in its path. But sci-fi films are more optimistic, depicting black holes as portals through space and time or gateways to other dimensions. And it turns out, some scientists now think the sci-fi buffs may be onto something. Black holes might be suitable for hyperspace travel, after all; it just takes the right kind of black hole.
At the center of every black hole is a point of infinite density, called a singularity. It’s what gives black holes their strong gravitational pull. And for decades, scientists thought singularities were all the same, so anything that passed the event horizon would be destroyed the same way: by being stretched and pulled like an infinitely long piece of spaghetti.
But that all changed in the early 1990s when different research teams in Canada and the US discovered a second singularity called a “mass inflation singularity.” It still has a strong gravitational pull, but it would only stretch you by a finite amount, and potentially NOT kill you in the process, meaning, you might survive the trip through a black hole. More specifically, through a large, rotating black hole, which is where these types of singularities exist.
Now, astronomers obviously can’t travel through a black hole yet to test this theory. In fact, the best place to test this is at the supermassive black hole in the center of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, which is 27,000 light years away. Not conveniently close to the least.
Therefore, scientists instead run computer simulations to see what would happen if we did manage to reach an isolated, rotating black hole, and now, for the first time, a team of scientists at UMass Dartmouth and Georgia Gwinnett College has done exactly that.
Lior Burko: “You would feel a slight increase in temperature, but it would not be a dramatic increase. It’s just that you don’t have enough time to respond to the very strong forces. It would just go through you too quickly.”
Narrator: He added that passing through a weak singularity is like quickly running your finger through a candle flame that’s 1,000 degrees Celsius. If you hold your finger in the flame long enough, you’ll get burned, but pass your finger through quickly, and you’ll barely feel a thing. Similarly, if you pass through a weak singularity with the right speed and momentum, and at the right time, you may not feel much at all.
As for what happens once you get through to the other side, no one really knows, but Burko has his own ideas. He says one possibility is that we’d arrive at some other remote part of our galaxy, potentially light years away from any planets or stars, but a second, and perhaps more intriguing, possibility is that we’d arrive in a different galaxy altogether. That’s if you even make it that far.
Scientists say more research is needed before we’re anywhere close to successfully traveling through a black hole. But when we are ready, one of the safest passageways might be the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy called Sagittarius A*, and it might just be our ticket out of the Milky Way.
Math may be hard, but it sure is handy – even in the world of fairies. Looking for an explanation for the so-called fairy circles – mysterious circles of grass found in Namibia and Western Australia — researchers turned to one of the greatest mathematical minds of modern times, and Alan Turing, speaking from beyond the grave, gave them the answer. Was there any secret Turing couldn’t decode?
“Turing’s concept was that in certain systems, due to random disturbances and a “reaction-diffusion” mechanism, interaction between just two diffusible substances was enough to allow strongly patterned structures to spontaneously emerge.”
Patterns like these
What? Fortunately, most of the press release on a new paper published in the Journal of Ecology is written at a more understandable level. In 1952 (he died in 1954 at the age of 41), Turing published a paper on mathematical biology considered by many to be his masterpiece: “The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis.” Morphogenesis is the development of patterns and shapes in biological organisms and Turing used a set of partial differential equations to model catalytic chemical reactions that could create regular patterns in nature. While Turing couldn’t take it any further, many other scientists did, using his work to explain spots and stripes on animals and the growth patterns of feathers and hair follicles. While it was thought that Turing’s pattern theory might help explain the patterns fairy circles formed, no one had accomplished it … until now.
“The data show that the unique gap pattern of the Australian fairy circles, which occur only in a small area east of the town of Newman, emerges from ecohydrological biomass-water feedbacks from the grasses. In fact, the fairy circles – with their large diameters of 4m, clay crusts from weathering and resultant water run-off – are a critical extra source of water for the dryland vegetation. Clumps of grasses increased shading and water infiltration around the nearby roots.”
An international research team led by Göttingen University scientists converged on Newman with a tool that had never been used to study these fairy circles before – one that Turing could only have imagined … drones. Using a drone equipped with a multispectral camera, the researchers mapped Triodia grasses over time in five one-hectare plots and classified them according to how well they grew. (Photos here.)
They found that the areas doing well did so by cooperating to ring a small section in order to capture and hold moisture that normally would have run off. The mounded circle of grass also provided shade for new seedlings. However, the best part was that the photos showed that the grasses knew exactly how big to build the circles for irrigation and growth efficiency, and all of them did it the same way.
Patterns like these
“The intriguing thing is that the grasses are actively engineering their own environment by forming symmetrically spaced gap patterns. The vegetation benefits from the additional runoff water provided by the large fairy circles, and so keeps the arid ecosystem functional even in very harsh, dry conditions.”
The circles of grass reacted with each other, just as Turing’s pattern theory had predicted. No fairies, gods, spirits, dragons or any other mythical beings formerly used to explain the fairy circles were needed – just the mathematical mind of Alan Turing.
Still think math is hard? Turing had an answer for that too.
“Those who can imagine anything, can create the impossible.” ― Alan Turing
This week I have a new book out from Red Wheel/Weiser’s New Page Books. Its title: The Martians: Evidence of Life on the Red Planet. The story dates back into the distant past and right up until the present day. And, it’s a highly controversial story, too. For example, the book addresses such issues as the “Face on Mars,” unusual pyramid-like structures on the planet, additional so-called faces, and even what appear to be strange creatures on the surface of Mars. On top of that there are certain, curious monoliths – on Mars and on one of its moons: Phobos. And what about the CIA’s secret remote-viewing of Mars back in 1984? The most important aspect of the latter issue is not just what the CIA found, but why the agency felt there was such a pressing need to uncover the secrets of the Red Planet. Add to the planet’s “Banyan Trees,” and Mars’ own equivalent of Stonehenge (“Marshenge,” of course!), and you begin to see how incredibly weird Mars really is. What about the sensational possibility that an advanced Martian civilization might still exist – albeit in a very precarious situation? All of these questions and issues are guaranteed to provoke debate – and a great deal of controversy.
Many will tell you that Mars is an utterly dead world. No animal life, no plant life. Nothing. That is not the case, though. As I demonstrate, Mars is absolutely teeming with life; both flora and fauna, no less. Some of that life is highly advanced and incredibly old. There’s no denying that the planet guards its incredible and disturbing secrets both diligently and carefully. It has done so for a long time; an amazingly long time. None of that, however, has stopped us from uncovering a wealth of what can only be described as “anomalies” on Mars. The Martians: Evidence of Life on the Red Planet is an in-depth study of the theory that Mars was once a world which teemed with life. Perhaps, even, life that is not at all too dissimilar to ours. Incredibly, the Martians may still be there. Alive. Hiding deep below the surface of a ruined world.
There can be absolutely no doubt whatsoever that it was the discovery of the “Face on Mars” back in the 1970s that energized the interest and controversy that surrounded (and that still continues to surround) the possibility that Mars may once have been a world not too dissimilar to ours – even a world inhabited by beings who resembled us to a staggering degree. Some would put all of that down to nothing stranger than pareidolia. I don’t. Although I don’t see NASA engaged in a huge cover-up of the Martian structures, what I do see is a mistake on its part. That mistake has been to ignore and summarily dismiss the many undeniable oddities away as the results of nothing but pareidolia. The purpose behind all of this lack of interest or involvement by the space agency? Probably NASA’s fear of its reputation being besmirched, and the risk of its staff presented by an over-sensational media as “alien hunters.”
Mars’ “Banyan Trees”
(NASA)
I should stress that while I don’t think NASA is sitting on some sensational secrets on Mars, that certainly cannot be the same for a number of other agencies. I mentioned the CIA earlier. They were not alone, however. During the course of my investigations I found evidence showing that other agencies and shadowy departments have certainly taken a very deep interest in what might have occurred on Mars – and what might still be going on there. Moving on: when it comes to the scientific community, it is almost exclusively unwilling to address the mysteries of Mars in a fashion that just might have a potentially adverse bearing on their lofty, much-cherished reputations. Some, I suspect, are fearful of what they might find if they dare to go looking too closely: what we might call a skewed case of deliberate self-censorship. As a species, we are woefully unaware, and largely ignorant, of a series of incredibly ancient events that revolved around a nightmarish, irreversibly-collapsing Mars. And, of death on an almost incomprehensible scale for the Martians, most of them killed before they could flee their world for ours. But, not all of them. When? Without doubt millennia ago – probably even way back further than that. The secrets of Mars are about to be revealed…
Just recently, experts have revealed their findings of phosphine in the upper atmosphere of Venus. And scientists are baffled as they can’t figure out how the chemical could appear in Venus without the help of living organisms. This may be the best sign yet of life on Venus. There are, however, several other places that may contain life, so let’s take a look atfour of the most favorable locations in our Solar System that are the best candidates for supporting alien life.
1. Mars
In addition to Venus, Mars is also an excellent candidate for alien life. It’s actually very similar to Earth as it has 24.5 hour days, polar ice caps, and even a lake underneath a polar ice cap in the southern part of the planet as well as methane in the atmosphere. While the Red Planet is now dry and full of cosmic radiation, back around 3.7 billion years ago, it had an atmosphere that supported large amounts of liquid water and maybe even life that perhaps still exists today.
2. Enceladus
Two of Saturn’s moons have been listed as being promising places for alien life. The first one is Enceladus which is covered with ice and has a subsurface ocean of liquid water as well as over a hundred gigantic geysers located close to the south pole. Scientists found that the small grains of rocky silicate particles that spray out of the geysers could have only come from water touching the ocean floor at 90 degree Celsius temperatures (194 degrees Fahrenheit). Additionally, it has been reported that fresh ice has resurfaced the northern hemisphere, indicating recent geologic activity.
3. Titan
Saturn’s largest moon is another location that’s favorable to host alien life. It is the only moon in our Solar System that has a dense mostly-nitrogen atmosphere along with an orange haze and seasons where it rains. According to a map that NASA released last year of the moon, there are dunes, plains, large methane lakes, hummocky terrain (small mountains), labyrinth terrain, and craters. And since experts are currently working on a concept where a submarine may eventually be sent to Titan, we may finally get an answer to the question of whether there is life on Saturn’s largest moon.
4. Europa
Jupiter’s moon Europa is thought to be geologically active with possible liquid water hiding underneath the frozen surface. In fact, it is believed that there is so much water that it could be more than 100 kilometers deep (62 miles) and the reason why it is there is because the heat from the tidal flexing of the moon keeps it from freezing. Since the moon has geysers, tumultuous terrain, and a weak magnetic field, it is believed that those are caused by a subsurface liquid ocean. And NASA reported that they found evidence of sodium chloride on the surface of the moon which suggests that the subsurface liquid water on Europa would be very similar to the oceans here on Earth.
These are just four locations, but there are many other spots in our Solar System and beyond that may very well have alien life. We’ll just have to wait and see what scientists may uncover.

Jim Marrs: Naval Officer Admits He Has Been on Secret Spaceships via Coast to Coast AM Classics
COAST TO COAST AM. Author and journalist Jim Marrs discussed the latest on the secret space program and alleged missions to Venus using covert technology. The data uncovered by hacker Gary McKinnon led him to believe that there was some credence to claims of a secret space program. Eventually, Marrs met with a naval officer who told him that he’d been on secret spaceships.
“He said they’d given him an operation that allowed him to breathe and operate in a facility on Venus.” There seems to be fairly good evidence that there may be a deep space military presence, Marrs surmised, adding that there’s been rumblings of bases on the moon and Mars for years.

MUFON: Glowing UFOs Over New York Mills, NY On Sept 24, 2020, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Sept 24, 2020 Location of sighting: New York Mills, New York, USA Source: MUFON #111576 Here is a new video that just came into MUFON a few minutes ago. A few eyewitnesses had gathered on the patio in the back yard when they saw some glowing lights in the distance. The glowing lights would move and changes positions but never fall. One person compares them to the Phoenix Lights UFO event. Another person compares to flares but dismisses it because they never fall or dim. There is a bit of lighting on the right side so there is a bit of a storm clouds overhead. Its very possible these UFOs actually are causing the lighting in the area. Scott C. Waring
This video from Heliviewer actually has a massive tube like UFO shoot past. The UFOs is huge and its shape is even on both sides. This really looks like an intelligently made craft. The UFO is actually seen twice by two different filters, once in black and once in white. The UFO is about the size of earths moon. Why didn't NASA alert the world about it? Because...they know its not a meteor or asteroid. Scott C. Waring
UFO Shoots Out of Cloud Across Sky Over UK, Sept 9, 2020, Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Shoots Out of Cloud Across Sky Over UK, Sept 9, 2020, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Sept 9, 2020 Location of sighting: UK This eyewitness set up a camera on a tripod and went through the video later to see if he caught anything. He was surprised to find out he caught a UFO disk shooting across the screen. But it doesn't shoot from right to left of the screen. Instead its shoots from within a cloud on the left side and its much smaller so we know its very far away. I believe it came from the cloud itself and was searching for another cloud to hide within. The speed, shape and cloud it exited from...all indicate this is an alien craft. Scott C. Waring - Taiwan

UFO sighting filmed over Chandler, Arizona, July 25, 2020, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 25, 2020 Location of sighting: Chandler, Arizona, USA
The eyewitnesses were out near a field and caught sight of a silver round object gliding over the field. The UFO was not a perfect circle but almost cube like in shape. The speed of the craft was much faster than the wind, so we know it was not a balloon. The object had no wings, propellers or tail, so its not a drone or plane. It flew in a straight line, never deviating form it. Arizona is famous for having UFOs sightings...so much so they have a highway passing through called the Extraterrestrial highway. Thats how frequently they get sightings. They name freeways after them. Because of the perfect hight from the ground it hovers, its unique curved cube shape, its metallic outer shell and its location...this is 100% alien in origin. Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
UFO Hiding In Tiny Black Cloud Over Missouri, Sept 9, 2020, Video, UFO Sighting News.
UFO Hiding In Tiny Black Cloud Over Missouri, Sept 9, 2020, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: Sept 9, 2020 Location of sighting: Des Peres, Missouri, USA They eyewitness said he was chasing a strange tiny cloud formation that seemed to have a solid object inside. The eyewitness is correct. There is a small orb or alien drone hiding in this small black cloud. Notice how the solid object has control of the cloud so well and tilts it to one side without losing its shape. The faster a cloud goes the more of its shape it loses due to the wind speed, however this loses zero. It remains the same only tilting from right to left. 100% proof of an alien probe hiding within it. Scott C. Waring - Taiwan
This anomaly is located in an inhospitable area at Antarctica and I'm wonder whether it is something that has formed naturally over the years or man-made, since it looks like a base or storage facility, but is it?
The anomaly is 105x40 meters and 10 meters high.
In addition, there is another strange brownish object located above the large anomaly which is very similar to an old settlement or entrance.
In either case I have no idea whether it is just natural or artificially created but in case it is artificially, I suppose perhaps something important has been found there on which they have decided to cover it up.
Please take a look, here are the coordinates: 66°37'37.57"S 110°16'39.19"E
The OSIRIS-REx probe is scheduled to pull off NASA's first-ever asteroid-sampling operation on Oct. 20, snagging precious dirt and gravel from a 1,640-foot-wide (500 meters) space rock called Bennu.
"I can't tell you how excited I am," OSIRIS-REx principal investigator Dante Lauretta, of the University of Arizona, said during a news conference on Thursday (Sept. 24). "I'm confident that we're up to the challenge that's ahead of us."
That challenge is considerable. OSIRIS-REx, which has been orbiting Bennu for nearly two years, will spiral down toward a small crater dubbed Nightingale on Oct. 20, aiming for a relatively flat, boulder-free region just 26 feet (8 m) wide. That will be a pretty tight squeeze for the spacecraft, which is the size of a 15-passenger van.
"This spot is just the width of a few parking places and is surrounded by large, boulder-like structures the size of small buildings," said Mike Moreau, OSIRIS-REx deputy project manager at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. (The OSIRIS-REx team has nicknamed the most perilous of those obstacles "Mt. Doom," by the way.)
"So, for some perspective: The next time you park your car in front of your house or in front of a coffee shop and walk inside, think about the challenge of navigating OSIRIS-REx into one of these spots from 200 million miles away," Moreau said.
And OSIRIS-REx must make this bold move on its own. It will take signals more than 18 minutes to travel from Earth to the spacecraft on Oct. 20, far too long for real-time control.
The safe-touchdown zone is far smaller than the one originally envisioned by the mission team, which designed OSIRIS-REx with a 165-foot-wide (50 m) cushion in mind. But Bennu proved to be far more bouldery than observations by ground-based scopes had suggested. And the best sampling material — fresh and fine-grained stuff that hasn't been exposed to the harsh space environment for long — happened to reside in Nightingale.
OSIRIS-REx won't stay parked there for long. The probe will kiss the fine-grained dirt with its sampling mechanism, which is affixed to the end of an 11-foot-long (3.4 m) robotic arm, for just a few seconds. That dirt will be stirred up by a blast of nitrogen gas and collected by the sampling head, which team members have likened to a car air filter.
OSIRIS-REx will then back slowly and carefully away from Bennu, and the mission team will assess its catch. The goal is to get at least 2 ounces (60 grams) of asteroid material. If the Oct. 20 haul is deemed insufficient — and the team expects to decide one way or another on Oct. 30 — OSIRIS-REx could make another attempt, at a backup site called Osprey, no earlier than January 2021. (The probe has three nitrogen bottles, so it could theoretically take three swings at sample collection.)
If all goes according to plan, OSIRIS-REx will depart Bennu in March 2021 and head back toward Earth with its cosmic cargo. The asteroid sample will land in the Utah desert, encased in a special return capsule, on Sept. 24, 2023.
The material will then be studied by scientists around the world who want to learn about the solar system's early days and how life got started on Earth, among other topics. After all, asteroids are "time capsules" left over from the planet-formation epoch, NASA officials have stressed.
And Bennu is rich in carbon-containing organic compounds and hydrated minerals. It's therefore similar to the space rocks that many researchers think helped, via countless impacts, make Earth a habitable world long ago.
The $800 million OSIRIS-REx mission — whose name is short for "Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer" — launched in September 2016 and arrived in orbit around Bennu on Dec. 31, 2018.
The probe's work over the past 21 months hasn't been entirely devoted to prepping for the sample-collecting kiss. For example, its observations are also helping scientists better understand how asteroids move through space, which could lead to better trajectory forecasting for potentially hazardous asteroids (a class that includes Bennu).
OSIRIS-REx won't be the first probe to bring pristine asteroid bits down to Earth. Japan's Hayabusa probe delivered a few grains of the stony asteroid Itokawa in 2010. And the Hayabusa2 spacecraft recently collected samples of the carbon-rich asteroid Ryugu, which are scheduled to arrive here this December.
The OSIRIS-REx and Hayabusa2 teams have been working together over the years, and their collaboration will continue after both missions' samples come home, Lauretta said.
"Combined, it's an amazing data set — to be able to have information from these two near-Earth asteroids, which superficially look similar to each other but in detail are actually quite distinct," Lauretta said. "We're really excited to have an international coordinated sample-analysis program looking at both of the materials from these asteroids, and learning a lot more about asteroids in general and these carbon-rich asteroids in particular."

If you had a few billion dollars and some of the most talented space scientists and engineers in the world, where would you go?
There's no wrong answer, really. Even if you narrow it down to just the outer solar system — planets, moons, rings and other cosmic rubble — you'll never get bored. But that abundance of solar system destinations has downsides, of course, since there's little chance of ever flying all the missions scientists can dream of. But dreaming up those missions anyway is a vital piece of space exploration, and one that scientists do regularly.
During a recent virtual meeting of the Outer Planets Assessment Group (OPAG), a science advisory group focused on everything past the asteroid belt, scientists walked the audience through three different mission concept studies that were commissioned to inform the Planetary Science Decadal Survey, which will guide NASA programs between 2023 and 2032.
The decadal survey, managed by the National Academies of Sciences, gives NASA an independent assessment of the priorities of the scientific community and guidance in assessing where to send larger and smaller missions. And for the panel putting together the decadal survey, it's easier to evaluate those priorities with a picture of what sort of science is on offer at different locations.
"To be honest, I'd be shocked if the exact incarnation of these mission studies were to fly," Shannon MacKenize, a planetary scientist at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland and lead author of one of the mission concept studies, said of the project during the question and answer period on Sept. 2. "They're really meant to demonstrate the possibilities and the scope and are not mission proposals."
All three concept studies examined the category of mission that NASA calls flagship — projects like the Mars rovers Curiosity and Perseverance, the Galileo mission to Jupiter and the Cassini mission to Saturn. They're big missions, with massive price tags (Perseverance cost $2.7 billion) and science agendas alike, meaning NASA certainly can't take on three at a time.
But even if none of these specific missions fly, they could still shape where spacecraft go in future decades, just by offering a tantalizing look at what sort of science is really feasible.
So let's take a spin through the most daring dreams in outer solar system science.
Search for life on Enceladus
Stop one: Saturn's icy, outburst-prone moon, Enceladus, which is one of scientists' top targets for searching for life in the solar system. The Cassini mission, which ended in 2017, found compelling evidence of salty plumes spitting out of the moon's icy shell, making it much easier to sample the hidden ocean than would be true of a less temperamental world.
But no mission has ever prioritized this small moon, which is why scientists designed a mission concept dubbed Enceladus Orbilander. Led by MacKenize, the researchers wanted to send a mission that could tell potentially tell scientists whether the moon hosts life.
Orbilander represents two spacecraft in one. The spacecraft would orbit first Saturn to tour its moons, then Enceladus for 200 days, studying the world at a distance and collecting material spat out by the moon's distinctive geysers to analyze in its internal chemistry labs.
"Every time we fly through the plume, we build up an amount of sample," MacKenzie said. "Once we have enough to run a given subset, we take some time off from doing remote sensing and dedicate a couple orbits to doing the life-detection suite."
Then, Orbilander would settle down onto the surface for a second phase of operations, collecting the material that snows back to the icy crust and scooping some up for additional analysis for 150 days more. The mission's dual approach would allow Orbilander to study the material in Enceladus' plumes in a variety of forms — larger and smaller particles, fresher material and that which has been out in the open for longer.
The hypothetical mission would launch in the late 2030s, arrive at the Saturn system in the mid 2040s, enter orbit around Enceladus in 2050 and land the next year. It would be packed with a host of instruments designed to tell scientists whether there is life on this tantalizing moon, including mass spectrometers that can identify materials and a microscope to enhance the scientists' view. The team priced the mission idea out to about $2.5 billion, MacKenzie said during the meeting.
Swim around Neptune and Triton
Venture a bit farther out into the solar system and a different sort of opportunity awaits: the chance to visit an understudied planet and its strange, stolen moon.
Neptune and its moon Triton make a compelling pair of targets, since no ice giant has ever had a dedicated spacecraft mission. Scientists suspect that Neptune's largest moon is an object trapped from the Kuiper Belt fringing the planets of our solar system, rather than a locally born moon. But in orbit around Neptune, Triton is easier to reach than its siblings still banished to the Kuiper Belt proper.
"This is an important part of the buffet of options that are available to us as we decide how to visit the only class of planet in our solar system that hasn't yet had a dedicated orbital mission," Abigail Rymer, a space physicist at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, said during the presentation.
The mission concept study she led would arrive at Triton while the sun is shining on its southern hemisphere, since that's how the Neptunian moon appeared when Voyager 2 flew past the system in 1989 and scientists want to be able to compare the same terrain over time. Voyager 2 saw what look like a few active and many former plumes on Triton, and scientists want to understand how such features work.
In addition to studying Neptune, its rings and Triton, the mission concept, which the team dubbed Odyssey, would also study the strange magnetic field created by Neptune and how it interacts with the moon and its potential outflow.
Odyssey would spend four years touring through the Neptune system, studying both the ice giant and its strange moon, and would cost about $3.4 billion, Rymer said. The journey out to Neptune would take about 16 years, during which the spacecraft could study the sun's influence on the solar system, study our neighbors as if they were exoplanets and perhaps fly past some asteroids.
To Pluto and beyond
The third mission concept study targeted the former most-distant planet, Pluto, and its neighbors. Building on the legacy of the New Horizons flyby of the dwarf planet in 2015, this mission concept, dubbed Persephone, would orbit the tiny world, in particular to tell scientists whether it hides an internal ocean. Such a subsurface ocean, something that is not usually associated with the icy outer reaches of the solar system, could be an indicator of a potential habitable environment.
"If tiny Pluto on the edge of our solar system could be an ocean world, then maybe they're more ubiquitous than we expected," Carly Howett, a planetary scientist at the Southwest Research Institute in Colorado and lead author of the Persephone mission concept study, said during a presentation.
The New Horizons flyby offered a tempting glance at the surface of Pluto and its largest moon, Charon. But a longer stay would be necessary for scientists to gather enough data to understand what the two bodies look like right now and how they got that way. That science could include studying the atmospheres of these bodies, determining whether Pluto has a magnetic field and establishing what the dwarf planet might look like below the surface.
Like its predecessor, Persephone would also seek to fly past one or more Kuiper Belt objects. New Horizons' flyby of the object called Arrokoth was scientists' first glimpse of what such an ancient body could look like.
Of the three mission concept studies, the $3 billion Persephone would require perhaps the most patience: With a launch in 2030, it will take at least 26 years to get out to Pluto, and 27 if the spacecraft makes a small detour to visit a Kuiper Belt object before the rendezvous. After arriving, the spacecraft would spend a bit over three years orbiting Pluto and its moons; depending on its fuel reserves, scientists would hope to send the spacecraft to visit a second Kuiper Belt object, arriving perhaps in the 2070s.
Vast journeys, vast challenges
While Enceladus is a bit less challenging as a destination, the Odyssey and Persephone mission concepts highlight two key issues that would-be outer solar system explorers will face in the coming decades. The first is that the usual approach for traveling so far, flinging around Jupiter to pick up some speed, won't work very well for launches after the early 2030s due to how Jupiter aligns with the other planets.
"Jupiter doesn't play nicely in the next decade if you want to get to the outer solar system," Howett said.
That inconvenience means that either scientists need approval to start designing missions now or spacecraft will need more powerful rockets and longer cruise times to arrive at their destinations.
The second issue facing future outer-planet missions is that spacecraft bound for the deep solar system typically can't get their energy from the sun. That means scientists want to use nuclear-powered batteries to run their spacecraft. The Enceladus Orbilander mission design calls for two of these nuclear generators, called Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators; Odyssey would need three and Persephone five.
But the U.S. only recently began producing spacecraft-ready plutonium again after decades out of the practice, and current plans don't include enough production quickly enough to meet the desires of planetary scientists.
The challenges of Jupiter's deadline and plutonium production act as bookends narrowing the launch window for upcoming missions to the outer solar system, increasing the urgency of making decisions about which spacecraft to send where.
