Europa, NASA and Jupiter
Why NASA is sending the Europa Clipper to search for aliens near Jupiter
In the coming weeks, NASA's Europa Clipper will take off on a long journey to Jupiter's moon Europa. The icy moon could potentially host alien life — and there's only one way to find out.
Hurricane Milton Grounds NASA’s Historic Europa Clipper Mission to Jupiter’s Moon
NASA and SpaceX have postponed the launch of the Europa Clipper mission due to Hurricane Milton threatening Florida's Space Coast with high winds and heavy rain. The spacecraft has been secured at Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39A,
SpaceX launches Hera asteroid mission, but delays Europa Clipper because of Hurricane Milton
SpaceX returned to flight with its Falcon 9 rocket on Monday, sending up the Hera probe for the European Space Agency on its way to a pair of asteroids, but SpaceX and NASA have called off plans to launch the Falcon Heavy later this week on NASA's Europa Clipper mission to Jupiter's moon because of the approaching Hurricane Milton.
Europa Clipper to investigate whether Jupiter's icy moon can support alien life
NASA's Europa Clipper mission is launching this week to one of the best places we know to search for alien lifeforms.
A New Spacecraft Could Help Determine if There’s Life on a Moon of Jupiter
All of that, plus fuel, means the spacecraft tips the scales at approximately 13,000 lbs., which requires a bruiser of a rocket to muscle it off the ground. Europa Clipper will get that rocket, in the form of the 27-engine SpaceX Falcon Heavy, with over 5 million lbs. of thrust, able to launch more than 37,000 lbs. on an interplanetary trajectory.

Nasa’s Europa Clipper spacecraft will investigate whether an icy moon of Jupiter can support alien life
Nasa is doing just that: launching a spacecraft on October 10 to Europa, a moon of Jupiter holding twice the water of all Earth’s oceans combined. Europa’s ocean is between 60 and 150 kilometres deep and is hidden beneath an outer shell of ice that’s 15 to 25 kilometres thick.
