Europe Floats Future Space Ideas

Before the end of the next decade, a mission could be launched to put a balloon on Titan, the Hazy Saturnian moon. The balloon is one of several ideas being considered by the European Space Agency. It is sketching out where its science should be focussed in the future. Other proposals include an x-ray telescope that flies in two parts; and a sample return mission to an asteroid. All the ideas will be subjected to further study.
