While NASA scientists were growing excited that the ocean under Saturn's ice-covered moon Enceladus probably harbors conditions hospitable for microbes, technologists at the Southwest Research Institute in Texas were busy applying technical lessons from the mission that collected the tantalizing data. The story begins in 2005 when the Cassini Saturn probe discovered that Enceladus spouts geysers through cracks in its icy surface. Scientists decided to send Cassini and its spectrometer dashing through those plumes to analyze them.
