Surveying Io's Surface with the UNAGI lander
What type of lander could touch down on Jupiter's volcanic moon, Io? This is what a recent paper presented at the AIAA 2025 Regional Student Conference hopes to address as a team of student engineers from Spartan Space Systems at San Jose State University investigated a novel concept for landing a spacecraft on Io, which is the most volcanically active planetary body in the solar system. This study has the potential to help scientists and engine…
