The 2010 Mission to Io, Ganymede and Europa, or Mission Daedalus, was the first mission to actually happen with the Hawking III, with the exception of the brief Genesis.
Mission Purpose
On Io, the astronauts were to collect samples of volcanic dust ejected by tectonic activity on the moon's surface for analysis. They were to land on Ganymede to set up Terraforming equipment, and on Europa to deploy an unmanned submersible in Europa's liquid water ocean to explore it and its rocky planetary core. One of the mission's driving thesis was of there having life on Europa.
Highlights
- The mission started two days late
- A Twitter account was created to provide live updates from Mission Control, although it was not very successful.
