Titan Submarine is a proposed unmanned NASA submarine probe that will visit Saturn's largest moon Titan, and will explore either Kraken Mare or Ligeia Mare, two of Titan's lakes. The concept was proposed by Steven Oleson, Ralph Lorenz, and Micheal Paul, technical experts at the Glenn Research Center in Ohio.
