Europa Clipper is a NASA mission to study Jupiter’s moon Europa, an ocean world that might harbor alien life beneath its icy crust. The University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Lab has direct involvement with two of the spacecraft’s key instruments, which collectively will be able to map above and below the moon’s iceberg-like exterior to examine whether life could survive in the fathoms below.
Lunar and Planetary Laboratory's Regents Professor Alfred McEwen, Associate Professor Lynn Carter, and Researcher/Scientist Sarah Sutton discuss the Europa Mission and the work they are doing to discover more about Jupiter's moon Europa.
