Price $ 715 million aircraft

The aircraft Aviatr looks like unmanned aircraft are mobilized to Afghanistan. However, this 715 million dollar machine designed to fly over Saturn's largest moon Titan.

By the end of the mission, the aircraft weighs right 120 kg will lower the height and try to land the giant dunes of Titan.

To do this, Aviatr will be equipped with a horizontal camera extremely sensitive. This camera will be able to turn round to take a comprehensive picture of the clouds above Titan.

"We believe that Titan particularly suited Aviatr: gravity of the moon is relatively low but the atmosphere thick. That means that the small aircraft and lightweight as Aviatr can fly in the air longer, "said Jason Barnes, the authors designed Aviatr said.

Unlike hot air balloon - a solution has also been proposed to explore Titan, Aviatr will allow scientists to precisely control the height of it, and built a library of 3D images of the surfaceand weather Titan. Aviatr will use fuel from a generator powered by plutonium-238. When sending data back to Earth, the plane will switch to sleep mode to conserve energy.

Titan is larger than our Moon and even Mercury. Its surface temperature is about -178 to 178 degrees C.

Jason Barnesh currently working at the University of Idaho. But the idea of Aviatr could not round final funding approval of NASA, but Mr. Barnes still hope that this project will get the attention from the other side. Barnes said a satellite is heavier than air is the best way to explore the planet Titan's thick atmosphere, and a hot air balloon, though cheaper, but it will be useless.
