NASA's Europa Clipper
NASA's Europa Clipper is a space mission designed to explore Europa, one of Jupiter's moons. Scheduled for launch in the 2020s, the spacecraft will conduct detailed reconnaissance of Europa's icy surface and subsurface ocean. Its primary goal is to assess the moon's potential for supporting life.
The mission will use a suite of scientific instruments to gather data on Europa's ice shell, surface composition, and the characteristics of its ocean. By studying these features, scientists hope to understand the moon's habitability and its geological processes, contributing to our knowledge of the Jupiter system and the potential for life beyond Earth.
