Mission Incredible: A Titan Sample Return Using In-Situ PropellantsAn analysis of the use of in-situ volatile propellants for a sample return mission from Titan shows that this mission should be feasible. Such a mission would be invaluable for its science return, and its contribution to our understanding the origins of organic compounds in the solar system and our place in the universe.
