But when the probe heads to the outer planets, a new countdown will begin - a countdown that could change everything we know about life in the universe.

After the Europa Clipper arrives at the Jupiter system, it will begin its analysis of the icy moon, and potentially reveal that a moon inside our solar system has conditions primed for native life to form.

In other words, we might know that the surface of the moon of Jupiter oozes the chemical substances essential to life as we know it, in 2030.

Life on Europa would mean life on other alien worlds

Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Johns Hopkins APLLife on Europa is thought to be synonymous with life on other extraterrestrial worlds. 'if there is something alive in Europe, it almost certainly was completely independent from the origin of life on earth... that would mean the origin of life must be pretty easy throughout the galaxy and beyond," said project scientist robert pappalardo, on the official website europa clipper de la nasa.

As soon as the editorial board, Scientists have reached a wide consensus that Europe is home to an inland ocean with twice as much water as the entire land-based ocean, and may even have conditions which make it fit to live. But it took a long wait for the mission — which was greatly assisted by the Planetary Society's efforts — to receive the official green light from NASA in 2015, according to a Planetary Society blog post.

How the Europa clipper will probe a lifetime moon. Occasionally, he will venture near the icy moon for a quick "clip" or flyover, then perform a quick data collection before zooming in and escaping the radiation from Jupiter.

This "guerrilla warfare" observation style may seem overly round.

In a similar fashion to NASA's Cassini mission, which sent back stunning images of Jupiter before crashing into its atmosphere, the Europa Clipper probe will make multiple close flybys of Europa in order to gather data regarding the moon's atmosphere, surface, and interior. Like the NASA Cassini mission, that returned beautiful pictures of Jupiter before crashing into its atmosphere, The europa clipper probe will carry out several close-up flights of europa to collect data on the moon's atmosphere, surface, and interior.

Instruments on board the spaceship will study the depth and salinity of the ocean and the depth of the ice on its surface. The probe will use a radar instrument to map the ice of Europe and a magnetometer to examine the huge depths and salinity of the potentially large oceans of the icy moon.

The probe will use a radar instrument to map the ice of Europe and a magnetometer to examine the huge depths and salinity of the potentially large oceans of the icy moon. The infrared and colour cameras will produce a highly detailed color map of the surface of the moon, and scientists will use the data to find 'hot spots' where part of the ocean's water could seep into the ice cap. The plumbing of the depths for a change of paradigm - the composition of the surface will be examined by spectrometers, in addition to the emergent plumes projecting water into the confines of Jovian space. Sadly, there's no guarantee that life signs will emerge from this mission, which is why it will also scout possible landing sites for future missions to touch down, which could subsequently dig into (or even through) the icy shell and plumb the depths that may be teeming with alien life, and a paradigm shift for all of humanity.

 

Sadly, Nothing guarantees that signs of life will come out of this mission, For this reason, it will also identify potential landing locations for future missions, who could then dig in (or even through) the icy shell and flatten the depths that can be teeming with extraterrestrial life, and change of paradigm for all mankind.
