Nice Video! Pt. 2 I want to see! Enceladus is great target too! I wonder if they have oceans, liquid caverns, or both? The icy crust is hard as rock, there's intense radiation, there must be no contamination, & transmitting data through the crust is a challenge. Plutonium-238 (Pu-238) gives off its own thermal heat, & would be ideal a nose of a cryobot! Once it hits liquid, the cryobot would open, deploying the autonomous hydrobot, in low gravity water. It's VERY challenging, but NOT impossible!

Oh I see...So its's a very complex probe...Okay.

Where's part two?

I think we should try to send a probe there within the next few years. Why decades?

@jacobsings the technology has to be tested and perfected. Also it needs to be funded
