Roscosmos: nuclear tug “Zeus” will go to explore the natural satellites of Jupiter
Today, the satellites of Jupiter – Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto – attract the closest attention of scientists around the world and are even considered as objects for colonization in the distant future. It has been established that some of them have oceans covered with ice, from under which steam sometimes escapes, and some tectonic activity is observed, which indicates a hot core of the celestial body. Heat and water are necessary conditions for the existence of life. The presence of people on the nuclear tug during the research is not planned at this stage.
Venus has attracted special attention from the Russian scientific community
Phosphine, a byproduct of anaerobic biology, was discovered on Venus.
