1 DEMOTE Mission to Europa
Type in your Acronym and destination. The project manager should read this slide.

2 Background Information
Europa is one of the first discovered of Jupiter’s moons. Galileo discovered it in1610. Scientists believe there is a warm water ocean beneath Europa’s cracked, icy surface. Research Scientist: Give background information on your destination. This is a good time to talk about what we already know about this destination and what we still need to find out. ***Hot Core

3 Mission Roles Mary Elizabeth Kumcheva: Project Manager
Andrew Zhao: Engineer Jasmine Yelder: Mission Scientist Gaurav Nayyar: Instrument Scientist Mission roles and Introductions: Project Manager can introduce each one and then each person can state their roles as well as why they are the best members for the mission.

4 Mission Objectives and Science Questions
What is the salinity of Europa’s icy surface? What are the topographical features on Europa? How does the radiation around Europa change as it orbits Jupiter? What is the depth of the ocean underneath the icy surface? Mission Scientist should explain the objective of the mission. Mission Scientist should read one question and explain the importance of answering that question to astronomy and mankind. Then for the same question explain what they are expecting the results to show. (it is okay if your hypothesis is one day proved incorrect. Then they should move on to the next question, until all are complete.

5 Previous Missions to Destination
There have been no previous missions to Europa, though fly-bys have occurred. In , Pioneer 10 and 11 visited Jupiter, and sent back the first close-up pictures of Europa and other moons of Jupiter. In 1979, two Voyager probes captured better images of Europa’s icy surface. These images were the first to lead scientists to think about a possible ocean underneath. Galileo, a space probe, was deliberately destroyed to protect its discovery of possible subsurface saltwater on Europa, as well as Ganymede and Callisto. Engineer: Discuss the goals for other missions, and what was learned, to this object have been in order to justify that you are not using money to answer questions already answered. Discuss any similar instrumentation.

6 Demote Depth Exploration Mission of Oceans and Topography of Europa
Engineer: State your acronym and describe the meaning. Explain the design of your Logo and how it represents your mission.

7 Data Data will be gathered in the forms of images, spectral analysis, magnetic field & particle analysis. The camera images will provide a view of the topographical features. The imaging spectrometer will be used to detect salinity through spectral analysis. The depth/topography of the ocean floor will also be recorded through spectral analysis. The radiation levels around Europa will be tracked by using the particle detector and magnetometer. Mission Scientists: Discuss the type of data that will be collected and how it will be used to answer your questions.

8 Instruments 5 instruments are needed to complete the DEMOTE mission;
Camera Imaging Spectrometer Magnetometer Particle Detector Radiation Shield Instrument Scientist: State ALL instruments you will use and describe the observations they will make and how they will help answer your questions and complete your mission. YOU MAY copy and paste images of pictures of the instruments.

9 Satellite Design Image of satellite with instruments labeled
Heavy radiation shield Engineer: Describe the design of your satellite, including the power source. Identify each instrument and explain why it is placed where it is on the satellite. Remember to describe how each instrument is deployed, rovers, instruments located on boom, probes etc… *** Make sure to say that both transciever chips are in one dish Imaging Spectrometer RTG Magnetometer Thruster Transceivers Camera Particle Detector

12 Total mission Cost Total Mission Cost: $700 Million
Original Budget: $700 Million Modified Budget: N/A Justifications for Change in Budget: N/A, No changes needed. Project Manager

13 Conclusion DEMOTE will unlock information about Europa, including the depth, salinity, topographical features, and changes in radiation. By collecting all of the data, we will be able to answer all of our questions and discover more about the mystery moon, and any possible life. Project Manager: Restate your questions and their importance. Remember only one mission will be “funded” and you must convince the “review board” why it should be you.
