The planet promises more life than Mars

Many American astronauts think that in the solar system, Jupiter's moon is much more promising for life than Mars.

'Europa - the moon of Jupiter is the most livable place in the solar system, beyond Earth. This is also the place where we should focus on life research and research. ' - Robert Pappalardo, a scientist who studies planets at NASA's Jet Engine Laboratory, is located in Pasadena, California.

At NASA's request, a promising project for Europa research has been revised to minimize costs. This is the latest move related to Europa's exploration plan at the American Scientific Development Association's annual conference (AAAS).

Accordingly, NASA Jet Jet Laboratory and Applied Physics Laboratory at Maryland's Johns Hopkins University began developing an exploration project called Clipper with a total value of over $ 2 billion.

The ice-filled surface of the Moon Europa.

Just like the project, a space probe will be launched into Jupiter's orbit and carry out a series of approaching Europa flights.

If this project is approved, Clipper will be launched into space by 2021 and it will take 3 to 6 years to advance to Europa.

Unfortunately at the end of 2012, NASA announced that it did not have the capital to implement the Clipper project when the US was trying to cut budget spending.

However, NASA can participate in the mission to explore Jupiter along with the European Aviation Authority, in the 'Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer ' project - explore Jupiter's icy Moon . Under this project, an explorer ship will be dispatched to Europa by 2030.

Pappalardo said that the US should not be too focused on exploring Mars, because other planets should also be focused. According to him, life on Mars may exist several billion years ago, but life on Europa may still exist.

'If Europa is a place of life, Encelade (Saturn's moon) may also have this ability. This planet has a sea under the surface, or it may be an ocean, and here geological activities are still going on ' - a scientist at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona, USA, Amanda Handrix said.

Europa was first observed by two Voyager explorers in 1979 and then more closely observed by the Galileo telescope in the 1990s.
