EUROPA

A mysterious world of Ice and Ocean

Europa is one of the largest of Jupiter’s more than 90 moons. It’s the sixth-closest moon to the planet. Europa and Jupiter’s three other largest moons – Io, Ganymede, and Callisto – were the first moons discovered beyond Earth. They are called the Galilean moons after Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, who first observed them with a homemade telescope in January 1610.

Europa is primarily made of silicate rock and has a water-ice crust and an iron-nickel core. It has a very thin atmosphere, composed primarily of oxygen. Cracks and streaks striate its surface, but craters are relatively few. Scientists are almost certain that hidden beneath the icy surface of Europa is a saltwater ocean with about twice as much water as Earth’s global ocean.

Europa may be one of the most promising places in our solar system to find present-day environments suitable for some form of life beyond Earth. Scientists believe a saltwater ocean lies beneath its icy shell, holding twice as much water as Earth’s global ocean, and  the chemical elements that are key ingredients to life. NASA is sending its Europa Clipper spacecraft in 2024 to investigate whether Europa has the capability to support life, and is scheduled to enter orbit and begin its search in 2030.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why Europa? +
Europa is one of Jupiter’s largest moons and is known for its potential to harbor extraterrestrial life. Scientists believe that beneath its icy surface, there might be a subsurface ocean where conditions could support living organisms. This makes Europa a fascinating target for future space exploration and the search for life beyond Earth. The mystery and potential for discovery surrounding Europa make it a compelling subject of interest.
What happens to my body after coming back? +
After returning to Earth, you can often experience dizziness when standing up, known as orthostatic hypotension. This occurs because gravity on the earth is stronger than in space, and it is more difficult to deliver blood from the heart to the head. Your bone mass will decrease at an alarming rate, in order to cope with this, you must exercise for at least 2 hours daily.
During the journey, am I able to use my mobile phone, or other devices? +
No, you will not be able to use your phones or other devices. In order to communicate with your loved ones on Earth, a series of satellites in the Geosynchronous orbit (GSO) will serve as an intermediatory communication, between the space shuttle and ground control.
Am I able to bring food items from Earth on the trip? +
No, you will not be able to bring food items from Earth as it perishes.
Is the price negotiable +
No, there involves a lot of cost and in the process of goods and services used.
How will you produce oxygen for the entirety of the trip +
Oxygen is ensured through compressed tanks, electrolysis of water, chemical generators, regenerative life support, and plant-based photosynthesis. The chosen method depends on mission specifics, ensuring ample supply for your safety and well-being.
