Europa clipper mission set to launch in October; 'message in bottle' in 103 languages

NASA's Europa Clipper mission will explore Jupiter's moon Europa for signs of life by studying its subsurface ocean, icy crust, and unique message plate with elements related to SETI. Europa Clipper’s main science goal is to determine whether there are places below the surface of Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa, that could support life. After traveling 1.6 billion miles (2.6 billion kilometers), Europa Clipper will conduct 49 close flybys of Europa, examining its subsurface ocean, icy crust, atmosphere, and space surroundings.
