Europa Jupiter System Mission

Europa is the sixth of Jupiter's moons and the fourth largest. Europa is named after a Phoenician princess who was abducted by Zeus and taken to the island of Crete to be his lover. Europa was discovered by Galileo Galilei and possibly Simon Marius in 1610 and is one of the four Galilean satellites. The others being: Io, Ganymede, and Callisto. Europa is very different from the other moons of Jupiter. Instead of a rocky, cratered surface like Callisto and Ganymede, it instead has a smooth outer surface

the galactic scale I’m going to go over three things which are all in my presentation and in here one why Europa which will contain a fun fact , the reason why it may contain life and explaining possible life forms two N.A.S.A and there goals, mission, and payload and three a list of sci-fi books, some facts, and my personal views well here we go Subterranean Ocean. It is estimated that Europa has an outer layer of water around 100 km or 62 mi thick with a frozen crust around it. Heat from its tidal

full time crews around every planet in our solar system. The focus of this story will be around the team that works near Europa, an icy moon of Jupiter, trying to find the origins of the life discovered on Europa in the future. Europa is used as a source of water for the space station so the team works between its scientific investigation and its job collecting ice to turn into drinkable water for the crew of their space station. The life on Europa is different from that on Earth (based on evolutionary

Europa: the only other body in the Solar System we know might contain life and a moon of Jupiter. Creating a dedicated orbiter allows continuous observation of such an interesting satellite, and might provide useful information to consider when planning the landing area of future landers on Europa. With a two year mission duration, multi-spectrum imagers, and radar rangefinders, a Europa orbiter could provide valuable information to the scientists of NASA and other space agencies across the world

question. Over the last 50 years the onset of advanced rocketry and guided space probes has changed our perspective about the possible existence of life elsewhere in our solar system. Thanks to the innovative exploratory work of advanced space probes, we now know that conditions on certain planetary satellites in our solar system could potentially support life. Such technology has so advanced our understanding of the prospect of life beyond earth that it has given rise to the field of astrobiology,

Europa is one of Jupiter’s Galilean moons which shows potential for life. It is called a Galilean moon because it was first discovered by Galileo on Jan. 8 1610. Europa has the potential to have life because it has the potential to have an ocean time times bigger than all of Earth’s under its icy crust. The hubble space telescope discovered a water vapor plume coming out of Europa. Other scientific findings had already pointed to a likelyness of there being liquid water on Europa but this just

the fourth largest moon of Jupiter, Europa is pushed and pulled by the gravity of Jupiter itself, and its other moons. With a surface temperature of approximately -328º F, this moon is seemingly uninhabitable, but in fact, under its mysterious frozen shell could lay an incredible landscape of aquatic life (Astrobio). Hubble’s discovery of enormous water vapor plumes on the South Pole coupled with an analysis of its density and features, it is extremely likely that Europa boasts nearly twice the amount

Europa or Bust – Reaching Jupiter’s Frosty Moon In the study of space and space travel, one goal is ever-present in the minds of humanity. In a way, this one question is the underlying motive in all extra-terrestrial exploration: could there be life beyond the Earth? The question is asked again and again, with various theories from various people, but even with evidence of flowing water on Mars, evidence of life has yet to be found. However, as a possible answer to this timeless question, one

Bruce Silver Professor Shawn Dry History 1520 14 June 2010 Why Should We Explore Jupiter’s Moon Europa? The planet Jupiter, some 500 million miles from Earth is a very unique planet. Besides being 1200-1500 (estimates vary) times larger than the Earth, The planet Jupiter is surrounded by a small solar system by itself. The planet Jupiter has some 72 moons orbiting it at present count, and these moons come in all shapes, sizes, and physical variations. Many of these moons have quite interesting

purpose of the mission, if the mission was innovative, what it discovered, and if the mission was successful or unsuccessful. While reading this essay think of the way Galileo traveled, the many adventures it went through, and how this mission helped us in later years. The main purpose of the Space Mission, Galileo, was to study the planet Jupiter and its mysterious moons. Nevertheless, NASA’s Galileo mission, as well, became very helpful with more discoveries within its journey to Jupiter, the gas giant
