Europa Clipper

The Europa Clipper is a NASA spacecraft designed to study Jupiter’s moon Europa, which is believed to have a subsurface ocean beneath its icy crust. Its main goal is to assess Europa’s habitability by analyzing its ice shell, surface, and potential water interactions with the moon’s rocky interior. Equipped with advanced instruments, the Clipper will orbit Jupiter and conduct multiple close flybys of Europa, gathering data on its surface composition, ice shell thickness, and possible signs of life. This mission aims to determine whether Europa could support life and guide future exploration efforts.
