The Europa Clipper is NASA's mission to explore Jupiter's icy moon Europa. Explore the mission in more detail with our ultimate guide.

In late 2015, Congress ordered NASA to add a surface component to the Europa mission. The agency is currently studying the best ways to make this happen; the new SDT report is part of that process.

This won’t be the first time scientists have tried to map the chemical composition of Europa’s surface (J. Geophys. Res.: Planets 1995, DOI: 10.1029/95JE01766).
