The existence of subsurface aqueous oceans in Jupiter and Saturn's large icy moons, theorized in the 1970s, has been confirmed by data collected by the Voyager, Galileo and Cassini-Huygens missions. The composition of chondritic and cometary materials and the data from these missions suggest that magnesium sulfate and carbon dioxide may be major components of these extra-terrestrial oceans. In order to understand the implications of the presence of these two constituents, new experiments were carried out in the H2O-CO2 and H2O-MgSO4 systems at the high pressures (0 - 2 GPa), low temperatures (250 - 350 K) and compositions (water-rich systems) expected in the hydrospheres of Ganymede, Callisto and Titan. The results from these experiments le...
