Europa, the sixth largest moon in the Solar System is the smallest of the four Galilean moons (moons identified by Galileo) orbiting Jupiter, may be the most promising place in our solar system to find present-day environments suitable for some form of life beyond Earth. Planned for launch in October 2024, the Europa Clipper spacecraft is being developed to study Europa through a series of flybys while in orbit around Jupiter to investigate whether the icy moon could harbor conditions suitable for life. In this talk, Jackie Perry, Propulsion Module Harness Lead Engineer for the Europa Clipper spacecraft, will help us understand Europa and the Clipper project.
