Exploring alien oceans with tiny robots? These prototypes could pave the way for such a reality! A futuristic mission concept – called SWIM – envisions a swarm of cellphone-size robots that could explore the oceans beneath icy moons' shells. Learn more:

This is really nice. I drew up something similar a year ago and called it SWORM. Will probably spend the rest of the evening revisiting it now.

Amazing project! Just wonder how they will communicate, be recharged and actually being able to see anything down there in a fluid that may be under very high pressure, very high temperature and possibly able to damage the vehicles quickly with the fluids chemical composition.

Let's test them out by exploring Earth's oceans! Most of them are complete unknowns...

Wow interesting. I hope that in the future I will be able to help produce such different things.💯💯

I'm thrilled about the SWIM project! Exploring alien oceans with tiny robots is like something out of a sci-fi movie!

@NASA_Technology Great 💡🦾🚀

😊

How sweet would it be if one of these got munched by an alien fish

@NASASolarSystem Europa awaits!

@NASASolarSystem @chrisbrennan7 This reminds me of your Pluto in Aquarius video.
