Ocean worlds in the outer Solar System that possess subsurface liquid water oceans are considered to be prime targets for extra-terrestrial life and offer windows into Solar System evolution and habitability. The Cassini-Huygens mission to the Saturn system (2004–2017) revealed Titan with its organic-rich evolving world with terrestrial features and Enceladus with its active aqueous environment to be ideal candidates to investigate ocean world evolution and habitability. Additionally, this White Paper presents a baseline for a multiple flyby mission with a focused payload as an example of how ocean world evolution and habitability in the Saturn system could be investigated building on the heritage of the Cassini-Huygens mission and complementing the recently selected NASA Dragonfly mission.STAMPAenExploration of Enceladus and titan: investigating ocean worlds’ evolution and habitability in the Saturn systemArticle10.1007/s10686-021-09772-22-s2.0-85111090393WOS:000675773500001https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10686-021-09772-2https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/851110903932021ExA...tmp...94MFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation::PE9_2 Planetary systems sciences
