1.The Europa Clipper spacecraft will enter Jupiter’s orbit on April 11, 2030, after which it will pass close to the ‘Europa’ moon 49 times in the next four years.
2.Scientists believe that there are oceans of water beneath the icy surface of Europa, which can make the moon habitable, so scientists will try to know the depths of these oceans. In addition to this they will also search for other things present on the surface of ‘Europa’ that are essential for life. Also they will examine the magnetic field on the lunar surface.
