Voyage to the Mystery Moon 

Voyage to the Mystery Moon
 

NASA and the European Space Agency are teaming up for the most ambitious unmanned space project ever launched. Across more than 2 billion miles, it will battle the bitter cold of space, thread the rings of Saturn, survive the heat of entry and brutal impact of landing, and beam pictures and data back from Titan, its largest moon, whose secrets may hold clues to the origins of life.

Titan is Saturn’s largest moon, a mysterious orb with a soupy atmosphere ten times thicker than Earth’s and similar to the atmosphere that enshrouded our planet billions of years ago. The world’s top space scientists have set their sights on Saturn and Titan in a bold mission that gambles a lifetime of work on a single satellite and its attached probe.

Voyage to the Mystery Moon follows this fantastic voyage to Saturn, on a quest to solve some of the greatest mysteries of this alien world.
