Default NASA confirms mission to Jupiter’s moon Europa to explore its icy oceans

"NASA has confirmed a mission to Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter, will indeed
happen. The mission was initially explored starting in 2017, with the space agency
looking for reports on how it might proceed, and now NASA has said it will go
ahead and move to the key step of finalizing mission design, which will then lead
to actually building the spacecraft that will make the trip, and the science
payload it’ll carry on board.

The goal of the mission, which is codenamed “Europa Clipper,” is to find out
whether the icy natural satellite orbiting Jupiter could sustain life, and also
explore whether it might be colonizable or habitable. Plus, we’ll definitely learn
a lot more about Europa with an up-close-and-personal exploration."
