Europa Clipper is NASA’s mission to explore one of Jupiter’s four large Galilean satellites. Europa has an icy outer crust that covers an ocean world. It holds twice as much water as Earth’s oceans. So, Scientists want to know more about the habitability – the ability for some form of live to exist – on this large moon.
