    Robotic snake designed to slither around and explore hostile planetary environments is being developed by US space agency NASA.

    The robust machines designed to slide down narrow vents on icy worlds, including Saturn's moons and search their subsurface oceans.

    The machine is called the Exobiology Extant Life Surveyor but is known as EELS for short.

    It is under development by a team of engineers from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory based at the California Institute of Technology.

    It could one day be put to work on Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus which scientists believe could contain signs of life in oceans that are thuight to be under the surface.

    EELS is 4 metres long and weighs about 100 kg.

    Its body is made up of 10 identical segments that rotate, using screw threads for propulsion, traction, and grip.

    So far it has been tested in different environments with snow, sand, and ice and at a local indoor ice rink.

    NASA engineers designed EELS to autonomously sense its environment and calculate risk, as well as recover on its own.

    OPS: The EELS robot snake on test. The robot’s head containing the cameras and radar is lowered into a vertical shaft called a moulin at Athabasca Glacier in the Canadian Rockies.
