NASA leads a journey to Jupiter next week to explore the secrets of Europa’s hidden ocean

NASA’s Europa Clipper mission, launching on October 10, 2024, will study Jupiter’s icy moon Europa. With nearly 50 flybys, it will investigate Europa’s potential to harbor life through its hidden ocean. Equipped with advanced instruments, it will work alongside the European Space Agency’s JUICE mission to explore Europa’s habitability—an exciting step in the quest to discover life beyond Earth.
