NASA's Europa Clipper to launch search for 'ingredients of life' on Jupiter's icy moon
It won't land, but the robotic spacecraft will fly as close as 16 miles to the moon's frozen surface to probe oceans of liquid water beneath.
NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft will scour Jupiter moon for the ingredients for life
Europa Clipper will peer beneath the moon’s icy crust where an ocean is thought to be sloshing fairly close to the surface. It won’t search for life, but rather determine whether conditions there could support it. Another mission would be needed to flush out any microorganisms lurking there.
