TL;DR: To map out a coherent Ocean Worlds Program, significant input is required from studies here on Earth; rigorous Research and Analysis studies are called for to enable some future ocean worlds missions to be thoughtfully planned and undertaken.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Implications of Tides on the Mimas Ocean Hypothesis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate whether a present-day global ocean within Mimas is compatible with the lack of tectonic activity on its surface by computing tidal stresses for ocean-bearing interior structure models derived from observed librations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications of nonsynchronous rotation on the deformational history and ice shell properties in the south polar terrain of Enceladus
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the dependence of the magnitude of the non-synchronous rotation (NSR) stress on the thickness of the ice shell, particularly the brittle outer layer.

TL;DR: The Neptune Odyssey mission concept is a Flagship-class orbiter and atmospheric probe to the Neptune-Triton system as discussed by the authors, which is a bold mission of exploration would orbit an ice-giant planet to study the planet, its rings, small satellites, space environment and the planet-sized moon Triton.
