A company in Oregan are working on a balloon that could be used to explore Saturn's moon Titan.
Unlike a conventional lander, a balloon wouldn't be confined to the ground and would be able to soar across the landscape taking readings and photographs. "The idea of a balloon flying, taking pictures and sending them back has a lot of public appeal and we certainly hope we can deliver the goods on that some day," said JPL's Jeffery Hall.With its thick atmosphere and lakes filled with organic materials, Titan holds particular intrigue for scientists curious about how life began on Earth and whether it exists elsewhere in the solar system. But exploring Titan will not be easy.
