"We're looking for chemicals on the surface, organic chemicals that are the precursors to life," says Bonnie Buratti, deputy project scientist for NASA's Europa Clipper mission. The mission aims to find these chemicals to better understand potential life on Europa.
"It really is a very long term investment and quest. The spacecraft's 1.8-billion-mile trek out to Jupiter will take over five years," notes Laurie Leshin, emphasizing the mission's extended timeline to gather scientific data on Europa.
