"The surface composition of icy satellites, beyond the ubiquitous presence of water ice, is an outstanding question with important implications. The composition can provide clues to the origin and evolution of the body, and thus may set the stage for habitability. Subsurface liquid water oceans, when present, may interact with the icy surfaces above, directly bearing on ocean habitability and detection of possible tracers of extraterrestrial life."
