In a sneak peek of a possible future mission to Saturns moon Titan, NASA has showcased their vision of a robotic submersible that could explore the moons vast lakes of liquid methane and ethane.
VIDEO: Can a Moon be Older Than its Planet?
Studying Titan is thought to be looking back in time at an embryonic Earth, only a lot colder. Titan is the only moon in the solar system to have a significant atmosphere and this atmosphere is known to possess its own methane cycle, like Earths water cycle. Methane exists in a liquid state, raining down on a landscape laced with hydrocarbons, forming rivers, valleys and seas.
Several seas have been extensively studied by NASAs Cassini spacecraft during multiple flybys, some of which average a few meters deep, whereas others have depths of over 200 meters (660 feet) the maximum depth at which Cassinis radar instrument can penetrate.
So, if scientists are to properly explore Titan, they must find a way to dive into these seas to reveal their secrets.
ANALYSIS: Cassini Watches Clouds Blow Over Titans Sea
At this years Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Symposium, a Titan submarine concept was showcased by NASA Glenns COMPASS Team and researchers from Applied Research Lab.
Envisaged as a possible mission to Titans largest sea, Kracken Mare, the autonomous submersible would be designed to make a 90 day, 2,000 kilometer (1,250 mile) voyage exploring the depths of this vast and very alien marine environment. As it would spend long periods under the methane seas surface, it would have to be powered by a radioisotope generator; a source that converts the heat produced by radioactive pellets into electricity, much like missions that are currently exploring space, like Cassini and Mars rover Curiosity.
Communicating with Earth would not be possible when the vehicle is submerged, so it would need to make regular ascents to the surface to transmit science data.

NASA GSFC Community Announcement for Earth Venture Instrument-3 Solicitation
Artist's concept of NASA's Titan submarine. (Credit: NASA)
Chuck Bednar for redOrbit.com Your Universe Online
One can only assume that NASA is tiring of building orbiters and rovers, because one of their newest projects is a new, unmanned submarine designed to explore the liquid hydrocarbon seas of Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, in a future mission.
As reported earlier this week by Gizmag, a conceptual design of the proposed submersible was recently unveiled by the US space agency at the NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Symposium in Cocoa Beach, Florida. The submarine, which would be nuclear-powered and have side-scanning sonar, would be sent into space for a mission starting around 2040.
Remember the Titan?
Titan, which is larger than the planet Mercury and is the only moon in the solar system that has an actual atmosphere, is home to three polar seas made up of methane and ethane. The gases of those seas are similar in composition to liquefied natural gas, the website explained, and it is the largest of these seas, Kraken Mare, which is intended destination of the submarine.
Titan (Credit: Cassini Imaging Team/SSI/JPL/ESA/NASA)
Discovered by Cassini in 2007, Kraken Mare is located in the arctic region of Titan between 60 and 80 degrees northern latitude. It covers more than 150,000 square miles (over 400,000 square kilometers). Some estimates state that it could be up to 525 feet (160 meters) deep, while others claim that it could actually reach depths of well over 1,000 feet (300 meters).
Titan even has tides due to the gravitational pull of Saturn, as well as a complex shoreline and deposits of a water-soluble mineral sediment known as evaporate, which forms as the result of the crystallization by evaporation of an aqueous solution. In order to better understand the moon, NASA is looking to explore its polar seas using the unmanned submersible vehicle.

An international team of astrophysicists has witnessed a unique event: for the first time, researchers have discovered the formation of a quadruple star system from widely separated fragments of a filamentary gas cloud in the Perseus constellation.
The star system consists of a young star still in an early development phase and three gas clouds which are rapidly condensing by gravitational forces. According the astrophysicists' calculations, each gas cloud will develop into a star in 40,000 years. The stars may be relatively small and only reach around one-tenth the mass of our sun. The space between the individual stars amounts to more than a thousand times the average distance between the sun and the earth.
Unstable quadruple breaks apart The experts calculated that the two stars which are the shortest distance apart form a stable double system, while the other two stars which are further apart will be catapulted into space after about half a million years.
"Star systems with more than three members are unstable and prone to interference," says Jaime Pineda, now at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, who is the first author of a study that has just been published in Nature. The most probable scenario is that the quadruple will disintegrate and only last for a "short" time.
Not only did the researchers succeed in observing the formation of a multiple star system from a fragmented gas cloud for the first time; it is also unusual how quickly the system is forming. By astronomical standards, the estimated 40,000 years are "exceptionally fast", as Pineda stresses.
Nor had anyone been able to observe that stellar systems develop from parts of a filamentary gas cloud until now: "At first, we thought that the fragments wouldn't interact with each other." Often, only a triple system would form.
Unique system studied Pineda is member of a research collaboration that observed the star system and simulated its genesis and demise. At the time of the discovery, he was working as a postdoctoral researcher in Professor Michael Meyer's group at the ETH Zurich Institute of Astronomy, as was co-author Richard Parker, who determined the stability of the star system on the computer.
Astrophysicists from several US and European universities, including Harvard, Yale, Manchester and Liverpool John Moores universities, were also involved in the project. The researchers made their observations at the Very Large Array in the US, which they used to detect emissions originating from ammonia molecules (NH3) in the gas cloud.
"Multiple star systems are very common in our galaxy," says Michael Meyer, professor at the Institute for Astronomy at ETH Zurich. Most researchers, however, have concentrated on the birth and development of individual stars as this is more straightforward. On the other hand, scientists who analyse multiple systems usually tend to focus more on the end result of the star formation. For this reason, this discovery is something very special.

LAS CRUCES Construction began this week on the $105 million Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine at Arrowhead Research Park on the campus of New Mexico State University.
The private medical school will be the first in Las Cruces, and only the second medical school in the state. It will also be the states only school devoted to osteopathy.
Schools of osteopathic medicine are similar to traditional medical schools, graduating doctors who can practice medicine, prescribe medications and perform surgery, like medical doctors, according to the National Institutes of Health. Doctors of osteopathic medicine, however, spend additional time studying the bodys musculoskeletal system, according to NIH.
Everything is going according to plan, according to John Hummer, executive board member and the schools CEO.
On Monday, excavation and grading began, said Hummer. Were looking to begin vertical construction in April, and will have a ceremonial event to coincide with that. It will also coincide with the next step in our accreditation, as we apply for provisional accreditation.
Burrell College will be a freestanding, privately funded, separately licensed and independently operated entity. No taxpayer dollars will go toward its construction or operation, officials have said.
Dr. George Mychaskiw, an Orlando-based pediatric cardiac anesthesiologist who will be BCOMs dean, said he believes the school will begin student applications in May, pending provisional accreditation.
We plan on beginning the application process in May for the schools first students, to begin in the fall 2016 semester, said Mychaskiw. The school will serve 150 students in its first year, adding students each year to reach the planned 1,200 total.
