Enceladus mission would return samples to Earth

MISSION TO SATURN

This story from The Space Reporter focuses on a team of scientists developing a mission to Saturn's moon Enceladus that would return samples from its flowing geysers.

Those scientists include Jonathan Lunine, professor of astronomy, who is also principal investigator on another mission to Enceladus, which is searching for life in the geyser's plumes.
