Astrobiologists wonder if where there is water, there could also be life. Europa Clipper will make at least 45 close flybys of the Jovian moon. From the spacecraft's vantage point high above ...
Clipper will carry nine instruments and a gravity experiment to investigate the ocean beneath Europa’s thick ice shell. The moon’s ocean is estimated to contain twice as much liquid water as E ...
Set to arrive at Europa in April 11, 2030, Europa Clipper will map the surface of the moon using its nine onboard instruments, looking for water plumes. The spacecraft will have to move quickly to ...
that’s how much water we think might be on Europa. “Water is essential for life as we know it, and if we are going to find life elsewhere in the solar system, it’s very likely to be on an ...
During the course of 49 close flybys of Europa, the Clipper will gather and relay data to help scientists determine, for instance, the subsurface's salinity and how deep the water is. The Europa ...
