The reason that we are traveling to Saturn is to research the colonization of Iapetus, a moon of Saturn. Iapetus has 2/100 the gravitational pull of earth. So if you weighed 100 pounds on earth you would weigh about 2 pounds on Iapetus. We will use heavy probes and rovers to collect data to determine whether there are enough resources to support human life. The things that we are looking for include water, oxegen, harmful gases, and climates of Iapetus. Here is a possible outcome of the research that we are doing (below). The structure will have an artificial gravity source similar to the pull of earth's gravitational pull. Artificial gravity can be created by rotation, linear acceleration, mass, tidal forces, and magnetism.
