Introduction: Saturn’s icy satellite Enceladus is strongly suspected of possessing a subsurface ocean of liquid water below its geologically active south polar region [1-5]. The ocean is thought to be the source of chemicals in Enceladus’ plume [3,4]. The composition of the ocean is of great interest, as it contains key clues to the geochemical evolution of Enceladus [6], it sets the boundary c...

The current gamma-ray/neutron instrumentation development effort at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center aims to extend the use of active pulsed neutron interrogation techniques to probe the subsurface elemental composition of planetary bodies in situ. Previous NASA planetary science missions, that used neutron and/or gamma-ray spectroscopy instruments, have relied on neutrons produced from galacti...
