Enceladus' south pole, captured by NASA's Cassini-Huygens spacecraft, 2015. The Enceladus Orbilander is a proposed NASA Flagship mission to Saturn's moon Enceladus.The Enceladus Orbilander would spend a year and a half orbiting Enceladus and sampling its water plumes, which stretch into space, before landing on the surface for a two-year mission to study materials for evidence of life.

Enceladus was discovered on August 28, 1789, by William Herschel, [1] [17] [18] but little was known about it until the two Voyager spacecrafts, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, flew by Saturn in 1980 and 1981. [19] In 2005, the spacecraft Cassini started multiple close flybys of Enceladus, revealing its surface and environment in greater detail.
Breakthrough Enceladus is a proposed privately funded astrobiology mission by Breakthrough Initiatives founded by Yuri Milner. [1] Its aim is to assess the possibility of life on Saturn's moon Enceladus. [2] [3] NASA will be “providing expert reviewers and feedback on their design".

Life Investigation For Enceladus (LIFE) was a proposed astrobiology mission concept that would capture icy particles from Saturn's moon Enceladus and return them to Earth, where they could be studied in detail for signs of life such as biomolecules. [1] [2] [3] [4]
