Imagine a rover on the surface of Venus, propelled by the slow movement of the planet's thick atmosphere; or a submarine exploring the depths of a hydrocarbon lake on Saturn's moon Titan; or maybe a lander hopping from site to site on Neptune's moon Triton; or how about a gram-sized spacecraft accelerating to 160 million kph and whizzing past an intriguing planet discovered in the solar system closest to theirs. NASA sets aside a small fraction of its $19 billion annual budget to fund studies of radical-sounding concepts like these. Panelists discussed some of the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program's projects.
