Mission Overview
The S.E.P.T.A.
mission is a NASA sponsored un-manned exploration mission concerned with
surveying the life-capable planets contained within the EPS-451
system, and determining the presence of life within the EPS-451 system. In
order
to do this, two stages will be executed, the first a fly-by probe that
will execute preliminary observations, with the second being an
atmospheric descent probe, used to determine many of the variables within
the planet's atmosphere. These two missions, with their combined data,
will aid the science team in determining whether there is indeed life or not upon said planet.
