What Will Europa Clipper Do?

A spacecraft hovers over a reddish striped moon with planet Jupiter in the background.

NASA's Europa Clipper is targeting Oct. 10, 2024, for the launch of the first mission to conduct a detailed science investigation of Jupiter's moon Europa. Scientists predict Europa has a salty ocean beneath its icy crust that could hold the building blocks necessary to sustain life.
