Enceladus, one of the 83 moons of Saturn, is called "one of the solar system's most scientifically interesting destinations." The icy moon is known to contain salty oceans which might harbor marine life. Researchers from the University of Arizona have revealed how the moon could be probed for signs of life by an orbiting space probe, without actually having to land on its surface.
