NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft aims to explore Jupiter's moon Europa, focusing on its subsurface ocean, which could be harboring extraterrestrial life.
Jupiter's magnetic field poses a significant challenge to the Europa Clipper mission, with a radiation level 20,000 times stronger than Earth's, necessitating new engineering solutions.
Europa is not just a relic of the past; it could be a world that is habitable today, making it a prime candidate for searching life.
The mission has passed a critical review stage, with a launch window opening on October 10, followed by a lengthy 5.5-year journey to Europa.
