TITANIC Nuclear SUBMARINE to Explore Titan's Biggest Methane Sea (+Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


NASA boffins have come up with a design for a submarine they reckon could one day be used to explore the liquefied hydrocarbon seas of Saturn’s mysterious freezing moon, Titan – the only bodies of surface liquid confirmed to exist off Earth.

The submarine – to be revealed at the 46th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in March 
 is proposed as a way to explore Kraken Mare, a body of liquid spotted by the Cassini probe in 2007 and since identified as the largest sea or lake in Titan’s north.

Small waves have been observed on the lake, which is thought to be up to 160 metres deep.

The sub would be powered by a “radioisotope Stirling generator power source” sufficient to enable a 90-day, 2000km journey.
