The Europa Clipper mission
launch—October 2024 on a Falcon Heavy rocket (Kennedy Space Center)
It is believed that there is a giant reservoir of water on Europa, this is the claim of scientists.
Here is the story of the theory of water on Europa
When the scientists were looking at the pictures of Europa's surface, they were surprised to see that there are no cracks or cracks on the surface made of Europa's ice. According to the scientists, it is common for meteors to fall on any planet or satellite, due to which craters or cracks are seen in planets and satellites. But there is no such mark on the surface of Europa.
As a result, many scientists made many arguments, in the end it was said by the scientist
Only water can fix the surface of the ice, if there is no crack on the surface of Europa, then it means that there is a giant ocean under its surface. But Europa is about 780 million km away from the Sun. At that distance, the water of a planet cannot remain in a liquid state, but due to its internal hit, it is found in a flowing state. Due to this, the water inside is liquid, and the surface water is in solid state.
Instruments that go with Europa Clipper
— imagine thermal emission systems
Thanks to this instrument, it can be known that what is the width of the ice (that is, we can know from this whether there is any hole in the ice made on the surface, which will make it easier for us to find the sea, and maybe one of Europa A small thermal map can also be made.

— (SUDA) surface dust mass analyzer
This machine is being prepared by the University of Colorado,
-Radar : for now about location oslf hills and help to the spacecraft for moving without any problemsThe Radar for Europa Assessment and Sounding: is a dual-frequency ice penetrating radar instrument that is designed to characterize and sound Europa's ice crust from the near-surface to the ocean, revealing the hidden structure of Europa's ice shell and potential water pockets within.
— magnetic sounding
— mass spectrometer for planetary research
—Europa imaging system
The Europa Imaging System is a visible spectrum wide and narrow angle camera instrument that will map most of Europa at 50 m.
—Europa EVS Europa ultraviolet spectrogram
—Europa clipper magnetometer
More about Europa
—Europa orbits Jupiter in 3.5 earth days, i.e. 84 hours—One surface of Europa always faces Jupiter—Europa was discovered in 1610 by the famous astrologist Galileo.
—Europa's ocean depth can be up to 80 km, which is 7 times deeper than the Mariana Trench, on which there is a surface of ice probably 15 to 20 km thick
NASA is thinking of sending Europa Lander after Europa Clipper is successful, scientists will learn more about it by studying the data coming from Europa Clipper, Europa Image from Europa Clipper and data from other sensors. Will decide where to launch the Europa lander, and which sensors and instruments to send with it.
So, this is Data from me, I hope you have good review for this article.
