A seismometer placed on Jupiter's moon Europa can use passive monitoring to determine the presence or absence of a possible liquid water ocean beneath Europa's surface ice and estimates of the thickness of the ice shell itself. Using probable seismic velocities for Europa's ice it is demonstrated th

Magnetic field perturbations measured during Galileo flybys of Europa and Callisto are consistent with dipole fields induced by the temporal variations of the ambient jovian magnetospheric field. These fields are close to those expected for perfectly conducting moons. We investigate the implications
Several radar experiments are planned to map the martian subsurface down to several kilometers, searching for subsurface liquid water reservoirs, using different concepts and techniques, all based on the penetration property of radio frequency waves in arid soils. The penetration depth of low-freque
