I Did Pack That Snake...

 That snake robot, that is. NASA is developing a biomimetic robot based off a snake that may one day be landed on Enceladus. Why a snake?

Snakes handle water as well as land, and the snake will go into Enceladus' under ice ocean to collect samples and bring them back to the surface. Each segment can also have a different capability, including tracks, propellers, gripping mechanisms, etc.

Hiss!
