Europa, one of Jupiter's four biggest moons, appears to harbor a liquid ocean not far beneath its bright, icy surface. Is there life there? NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft, launched last October, will fly to orbit Jupiter and, making frequent flybys of Europa, will study the satellite's geology, composition, and subsurface ocean. Learn about the mission, its scientific objectives, and the suite of sophisticated instruments it will employ in the decade to come.
