The Enceladus Orbilander mission was the 2nd highest priority Flagship mission in the 2023-2032 Planetary Science Decadal Survey, but did not make the cut for funding in this decade.

It would orbit Enceladus and sample its plumes for 1.5 years and then land to study surface material for 2 years, searching for evidence of life or its building blocks.
No drills, uses funnel and scoop.
Cost: $2.56B in FY 2025 dollars
