More About Europa Clipper
The mission first started 26 years ago in 1997 when a proposal was made to send a spacecraft to Jupiter’s ice-covered moon Europa. Since then, scientists have been searching for an opportunity to send the probe to the moon. Europa is considered to be one of the most likely places to discover alien life. It has been revealed that a hidden ocean is underneath its thick ice. The Europa Clipper will conduct a series of fly-bys around the moon during its mission. Using its powerful radio scanner, it will hopefully be able to map out the ocean underneath the ice. If successful, then the mission will map out a landing site for a lander mission, which would sample its surface.
