At present, NASA is planning a mission to Europa, to try and assess its habitability. An argument might also be made for Encelad

us, however. Let's imagine you had to pick one of those moons to send an uncrewed (i.e. robotic) mission to. The spacecraft will probably orbit the giant planet (Jupiter in the case of Europa, Saturn in the case of Enceladus), and make many flybys of the moon you're studying. Which moon would you pick, and why?

Answer:

Jupiter

Explanation:

For this space trip, the distance to the planet must be taken into account, so Because Jupiter is much closer it should be the correct choice

.

It must also be taken into account that Saturn has a series of rings, for which the ship has a probability of colliding with one of these in one of its turns, therefore taking this into account, Jupiter must also be chosen.
