Topic: Charon


"We can begin by describing this multi-shade moon as maple brown at the north pole degrading to light gray colors. Its geological surface is so diverse but interesting, as it has sections in the north-center anticlinal part and in its part central south sinclinales. Its teluric surface is very important to us because of the high content of minerals that can be found for our development. For example new alloys. It is to be suggested that new research projects with probes or rover contain advanced devices of geology, rock mechanics, geophones, seismographs, satellite mapping, gas chromatography for gases, in order to determine the density of its atmosphere if it contains it, all in order to obtain data by triangulation of all the information of the moon and compare its stratigraphy, correlate with the electrical profiles of seismic maps to determine their volcanic activity, because it appears that there was or is underground activity originating rivers or failing if there was a thaw at some point that originated any of its geological formations and be prepared for the next phase of research but, since Pluto is made of nitrogen and methane, and Charon is principally made by ice of water,¿would it mean this theory is invalid?

Artist's view of New Horizon and Charon
To be sure we need to send another spacecraft. If it’s another figure like Pluto, with core of stone and a surface of ice, then it would confirm the existence of cryo-geysers, that would mean the core could heat up the water under the surface and give possibility to the very existence of life, it needs heat because it is far away from the sun and it’ warmness can’t reach this moonFor discovering more about Charon we suggest sending an orbital spacecraft with a similate model to the Japanese Hayabusa.

What would be more economic and convenient for the study of Charon, due to it's frozen surface, it's cryo-geysers and the possibility of life underneath. If it’s decided to send a module to Charon we suggest it should be as stated before, economic, thus we think that it should be unable to move, for it's not needed. wEsuggested that new research projects with rover probes contain advanced geology devices, rock mechanics, geophones, seismographs, satellite mapping, gas chromatography for gases, in order to determine the density of their atmosphere if it contains it, all this with the purpose of obtaining data by triangulating all the information of the moon and comparing its stratigraphy, correlating with the electrical profiles of the seismic maps to determine its volcanic activity, because it seems that there was or is activity underground originating riversides or failing if there was a thaw at some time that originated any of its geological formations and be prepared for the next phase of investigation."
