A private team may send a spacecraft to Saturn’s watery moon before a space agency like NASA makes it happen.
The two most exciting places in the solar system may be Jupiter’s moon Europa and Saturn’s moon Enceladus. The watery worlds are widely considered the best bets to find extraterrestrial life. NASA is now building a spacecraft called Europa Clipper to launch to Jupiter’s moon in the early 2020s. Enceladus, however, does not yet have its own mission on the books.
