NASA will soon be launching a mission to Europa, the planet Jupiter’s fourth-largest moon. A spacecraft called the Europa ...

By that logic, could a probe to a presumed icy ocean on Jupiter’s moon, Europa, find potential for current life? That’s the hope propelling the Europa Clipper, the largest NASA spacecraft ...

instead it will cleverly orbit Jupiter in such a way that it passes over Europa 44 times, eventually building up a full global scan of the moon. The probe carries nine science instruments ready to ...

Other instruments will measure the depth and salt levels of the moon’s ocean and the thickness of its ice shell, and also how Europa flexes within the strong gravitational pull of Jupiter.

For the first time, NASA is journeying to this mysterious moon to determine if it might be able to host alien life. NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft (illustrated here with Jupiter in the ...

NASA plans to launch the Europa Clipper mission on October 10, 2024, targeting Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. The mission seeks to explore whether Europa’s subsurface ocean can harbor life.
