The Europa Research Submarine (ERS) Ariadne, accompanied by its Thermal Hull Entry System for EUropa Submarine (THESEUS), was an autonomous mission to Jupiter's moon Europa as a follow-up to the Europa Clipper. Launched in 2032, the probe reached its destination in late 2036 and reached the inner ocean after two months of thermal boring. Its onboard cameras almost immediately recorded the presence of complex macroscopic life, causing an unprecedented paradigm shift for human civilization.
