Follow Europa Clipper’s journey to Juptier’s icy moon Europa to determine whether there are places below the moon’s surface that could support life.

NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft will carry an advanced suite of science instruments to discover whether Europa hosts environments suitable for life.

Scientists are almost certain that hidden beneath the icy surface of Europa is a saltwater ocean thought to contain about twice as much water as Earth’s global ocean. It may be the most promising place in our solar system to find present-day environments suitable for some form of life beyond Earth.
