Why We Need a Dedicated Planetary Defense System: Arguments from a Planetary Scientist
In a recent paper published in the journal Icarus, planetary scientist Dr. Elisa Quintana has laid out her arguments for a dedicated mission to Saturn’s moon Titan. Dr. Quintana believes that Titan is an ideal candidate for such a mission due to its unique environment and its potential for extraterrestrial life. She states that a dedicated mission to Titan would be a “game-changer” in terms of exploring the outer solar system. Dr. Quintana argues that Titan is a rich source of information about our solar system, and that a mission to this moon would provide invaluable insight into the processes that shape our solar system. She also believes that such a mission would be instrumental in the search for life beyond Earth.
