The icy satellites of Jupiter and Saturn are perhaps the most promising places in the Solar System regarding habitability. However, the potential habitable environments are hidden underneath km-thick ice shells. The discovery of Enceladus’ plume by the Cassini mission has provided vital clues in our understanding of the processes occurring within the interior of exooceans. To interpret these data and to help configure instruments for future missions, controlled laboratory experiments and simulations are needed. This review aims to bring together studies and experimental designs from various scientific fields currently investigating the icy moons, including planetary sciences, chemistry, (micro-)biology, geology, glaciology, etc. This chapter provides an overview of successful in situ , in silico , and in vitro experiments, which explore different regions of interest on icy moons, i.e. a potential plume, surface, icy shell, water and brines, hydrothermal vents, and the rocky core.

外洋天体生物学探索的实验和模拟工作

木星和土星的冰冷卫星可能是太阳系中最有希望居住的地方。然而，潜在的宜居环境隐藏在千米厚的冰壳之下。卡西尼号任务对土卫二羽流的发现为我们了解海洋内部发生的过程提供了重要线索。为了解释这些数据并帮助为未来的任务配置仪器，需要受控的实验室实验和模拟。本综述旨在汇集目前调查冰卫星的各个科学领域的研究和实验设计，包括行星科学、化学、（微）生物学、地质学、冰川学等。本章概述了成功的原位、计算机, 和体外实验,
