The Enceladus Vent Explorer, or EVE, would dive deep into a steep crevass where water-ice jets burst from the ocean below.

This newly developed hardware could support astronaut health on Artemis missions, or provide spin-off benefits here on Earth, with just a drop of blood.

This technology demonstration will use lasers to search for water ice inside the darkest craters at the Moon’s South Pole.

On future missions, astronauts may encounter at least three different gravity fields: weightlessness while traveling in space, the gravity of another planet or moon, and Earth’s gravity once they return home.
