NASA is gearing up for possible robotic lander missions to Europa, potentially confirming its habitability after the Europa Clipper mission reaches the moon in April 2030. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory is developing a robot designed to search for life, tested on Alaska's Matanuska Glacier. However, harsh conditions on Europa, such as intense radiation and limited communication capabilities, pose significant challenges. Not having high-resolution surface imagery complicates landing strategies.
At this point this is a pretty mature concept,
