The new NASA mission to explore and sample the icy crust of Jovian moon Europa to search for signs of life, Europa Clipper, successfully launched from Cape Canaveral last Monday, October 14th.
Launch went without a hitch and Europa Clipper is now on its way to Jupiter, taking in flybys of Mars and Earth on its long journey. It is expected to arrive at Jupiter in April 2030.
