NASA's Europa Clipper mission is poised to explore Jupiter's moon Europa, focusing on its subsurface ocean and whether it has the conditions for life.
Scheduled for launch on Monday, the Europa Clipper spacecraft is equipped with nine advanced scientific instruments designed for detailed analysis of the moon's surface.
The mission is critical as Europa is deemed the most promising spot in the solar system for finding extraterrestrial life, thanks to its liquid ocean.
The spacecraft, the largest ever built by NASA, will lift off from Kennedy Space Center on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, with a 95 percent chance of favorable weather.
