Hypothetical Aerial Exploration Probe (AEP)

Recommended Posts

The Aerial Exploration Probe is a hypothetical interplanetary robotic device for assisting the study of gas giant planets such as Jupiter or Saturn.

It consists of a dome shaped piece of tungsten metal with the electronics contained within a vacuum to protect from intense heat and cold; a giant balloon which is collapsed while in space and while it's entering the atmosphere; and an air-pumping unit fed with heat from the probe's nuclear generator to feed heated gas into the balloon to keep the probe aloft.

Please tell me what you all think of my idea and if it could work ;)
