Our Project
From the very beginning, we entered this project with the goal not only to perform well, but also to expand our knowledge and discover new things about cosmic space. Our aim was to dive deep into the mysteries of the universe, to continuously learn, and to uncover fascinating insights about the vast phenomena that define it, as well as the endless possibilities it holds. Each step we take in this journey is an opportunity to push our limits, to better understand the complexity of the world we live in, and to contribute meaningfully to the scientific field.
Aurelia Aurita drifts gracefully in Earth's oceans, powered by invisible currents. Fragile yet enduring for millions of years, it transforms darkness into light. Similarly, the satellite Aurelia navigates space, guided by gravitational currents and solar radiation. Its name, derived from the Latin "Aureus" (golden), evokes both the light it reflects and the mystery of exploration. It symbolizes humanity's ability to merge nature’s elegance with advanced technology.
The ocean and space are twin realms—vast, mysterious, and nearly unreachable. Aurelia connects them, inspired by marine creatures that have survived for eons. Its spheroid shape mirrors a jellyfish's bell, while its flexible solar panels act like tentacles, adjusting its course in space's silent dance. Just as jellyfish rely on tides, Aurelia drifts along cosmic forces.
Adaptable and resilient, Aurelia embodies harmony between nature and technology, a bridge from Earth's oceanic past to our cosmic future. Though a simple point of light from below, up close, it is a cosmic jellyfish exploring the stars, a silent testament to humanity's curiosity.
Jellyfish lack brains, yet still thrive.

Where We Chose to Orbit
Enceladus is considered one of the most beautiful Saturn’s moons due to its beautiful icy surface, while active geysers spew water out into space. It was discovered by William Herschel as far back as 1789. Up until NASA's Cassini spacecraft unveiled its secrets, back in the early 2000s, it was simply another frozen moon.
• Size and Composition
The Enceladus is somewhat small-about 504 km-across, a little less than the width of the UK. Its surface is all found to be covered with brilliant reflective ice among the most reflective surfaces in the Solar System. Its average temperature at the surface is about −201 degrees Celsius (−330 degrees Fahrenheit)-probably, the coldest thing outside of deep space.
• Cryovolcanism: Water Geysers
In fact, this can be regarded as the most striking feature of Enceladus. Cassini observed how water vapor, ice, and organic chemicals burst from fissures near the South Pole. Those geysers are powered by a subsurface ocean beneath the icy crust of the moon.
• Life Possibility
Because liquid water, organic molecules, and forms of energy are all now known to coexist on Enceladus, this moon is considered by most to be one of the best candidates in our Solar System for extraterrestrial life. Interaction of the water with a rocky core may offer a suitable habitat for microscopic life not unlike deep sea hydrothermal vents on Earth.
• The E-Ring of Saturn
These jets of vapour are believed to feed the material into Saturn's E ring, a tenuous outer ring of an extremely faint structure that is composed of mostly ice-held particles. Cassini did prove these were particles emanating from Enceladus, therefore giving credence to the importance of this little moon inside Saturn's system.

Here We Test The Vegetation in Aurelia's Ecosystem
We have started a research program within the framework of one laboratory from Transilvania University of Brașov. The effects of Neon Tube Lighting on Succulent Plants were discussed. We intended to make an evaluation in a controlled experiment on the efficiency of neon tube illumination for succulents in the respect of photosynthesis rate, biomass growth, and the absorption of electromagnetic radiation.
The study is still ongoing since we only got access to the laboratory in January and are dependent on the availability of university personnel for continued research and data collection.
