[email protected] 2 Exploration of Enceladus and Titan Executive Summary Recent observations from the ground and in space have shown that Earth is not the only place in the Solar System to possess exposed surface liquid. Observations have provided evidence of subsurface liquid water oceans covered by icy shells on multiple objects in the Solar System, called ocean worlds, including the icy moons of Jupiter (Europa, Ganymede and Callisto) and of Saturn (Titan and Enceladus) and dwarf planets (Ceres and Pluto) (see Lunine 2017 for a review).
