After an approximately 1.8-billion-mile journey, Europa Clipper will enter orbit around Jupiter in April 2030, where the spacecraft will conduct a detailed survey of Europa to determine whether the icy world could have conditions suitable for life. Europa Clipper is the largest spacecraft NASA has ever developed for a planetary mission. It carries a suite of nine instruments along with a gravity experiment that will investigate an ocean beneath Europa\u2019s surface, which scientists believe contains twice as much liquid water as Earth\u2019s oceans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lee esta nota de prensa en espa\u00f1ol aqu\u00ed.
