NASA’s Europa Clipper is currently set to launch no earlier than October 2024 and will study Jupiter’s moon Europa, one of the planets largest moons. This icy world is thought to have a deep liquid water ocean that may potentially be able to sustain marine life and other living organisms beneath its frozen surface. NASA is offering citizen scientists the chance to participate in the mission by sending their names with Europa Clipper as it orbits around Jupiter and performs flybys of Europa.
