About this technology

Overview

The OceanWATERS software is a simulation environment for research and development of on-board autonomy software for scientific lander missions to the "ocean worlds" of our solar system: the moons harboring large quantities of liquids, such as Europa, Enceladus, and Titan. The proposed "Europa Lander" mission was chosen as a reference design to inform the development of the simulator.
