TL;DR Summary

NASA is testing a snake-like robot named EELS for potential exploration of Saturn's moon Enceladus, which is believed to have subsurface oceans and conditions suitable for life. The 14-foot autonomous and self-propelled robot is designed to navigate various terrains, including oceans, sands, rocks, and cliffs, using its flexible body and array of sensors. If successful, EELS could provide valuable insights into the potential for life beyond Earth.
