With a hazy atmosphere, a hydrocarbon cycle, seasons, and a diverse set of surface features, Titan is one of the most unique objects in the Solar System. Further exploration of Titan can elucidate its geologic activity, chemical history, and astrobiological potential. While one-way missions can provide a wealth of information about Titan through remote sensing, in-situ measurements, and communication relays back to Earth, returning samples from Titan allows for unparalleled scientific analysis. Here, we propose a novel mission concept to explore and analyze Titan in situ and return samples from its hydrocarbon lakes. Within ORACLE, a separate lander and orbiter segment will perform all the scientific investigations and collect the hydrocarbon lake samples. After collection of the samples, another segment will return the samples to Earth while the lander and orbiter continue investigating Titan. This mission concept demonstrates novel Titan lake sampling technology and incorporates sample return and in-situ scientific investigation to significantly increase our understanding of Titan, with far broader planetary science implications.

Mars is one of the most valuable planets for space exploration. After entering the entry descent and landing (EDL) phase, the spacecraft would carry out a series of procedural deceleration operations and achieve soft landing on the surface of Mars. In the process of EDL, the landing platform would encounter a series of irreversible incidents within environmental unpredictability, making this process highly risky. The emergency communication device plays an important role if in the Mars Exploration Program. It can capture and store key dynamic parameters during EDL phase, enabling a high probability of survival in the occurrence of a faulty condition. It can also send the stored data to the Mars obit probe when the communication condition is met. This paper presents a scheme design for the emergency communication device based on its functionality and performance requirements. It includes the design proposal, simulation results, reliability analysis, technical risks and control measures, inheritance and performance compliance which verifies the rationality and correctness of the design.
