Unveiling the Mysteries of Europa
Welcome to the Europa mission page! 🐸✨ Our mission is to explore the enchanting world of Europa, one of Jupiter's most intriguing moons.
The Science Behind Europa
Europa, slightly smaller than Earth's moon, is shrouded in ice and might have an ocean underneath its icy surface. Scientists are particularly interested in its potential to support life!
Join us as we dive into the icy crust's secrets, searching for clues of geological activity and possibly even signs of life.
Why Europa?
Europa stands out due to its smooth, icy surface riddled with mysterious reddish streaks. These streaks suggest a complex interaction between the icy surface and possible subsurface ocean.
Our Mission Objectives
- Mapping the Surface: Analyze the icy crust's composition and geography.
- Studying the Ocean: Search for the ocean beneath the ice and its potential to harbor life.
- Understanding the Atmosphere: Investigate its thin atmosphere composed primarily of oxygen.
