Europa NASA's planned Europa mission would conduct detailed reconnaissance of Jupiter's moon Europa and investigate whether the icy moon could harbor conditions suitable for life like if it could hold animals, plants, and so on.
The mission would place a spacecraft in orbit around Jupiter in order to perform a detailed investigation of Europa to help get a better look at the planet and the condition of it. A world that shows strong evidence for an ocean of liquid water beneath its icy crust and which could host conditions favorable for life. The mission would send a highly capable, radiation-tolerant spacecraft into a long, looping orbit around Jupiter to perform repeated close flybys of the icy moon.
NASA has selected nine science instruments
