notice whether there was evidence of life around planet Saturn
For several decades, scientists did not notice whether there was evidence of life around planet Saturn. Despite Voyager 1 and 2 touring planet Saturn, their instrument could not identify the plumes in Saturn’s moon, Enceladus. However, in 2005 Cassini spacecraft flew twice to observe whether they would identify any signs of eruptions in one of the Saturn’s four moons. These moons were identified earlier as solid chunks rocks or dead ice balls by the Voyager. The Cassini Huygens mission started in 1997, with Esposito as the investigator of the Cassini’s spacecraft. The mission aimed to explore Saturn’s moons and the planet’s icy satellites. The Cassini Huygens mission was a joint mission by the European Space Agency and NASA to explore the Saturn system.
In Cassini’s Enceladus mission, 11 instruments were on board to explore any signs of an atmosphere or plumes in the moons around planet Saturn. However, only one device, a magnetometer instrument, could see very unusual features around Enceladus. A magnetometer is an instrument used to measure the strength as well as the direction of magnetic fields both on earth and in the space. The device is also used to calibrate permanent magnets and electromagnets as well as determining materials‘ magnetization
