Jupiter's moon Europa is a prime candidate in the search for life. The frozen moon has a subsurface ocean, and evidence indicates it's warm, salty, and rich in life-enabling chemistry.
that about 86 percent of the oxygen taken up at Europa's surface makes it to the ocean. Over the moon's history, that percentage could have shifted widely.
Kevin Hand is one of the many scientists keenly interested in Europa, its potential for life, and the upcoming Europa Clipper mission. Hand is a NASA/JPL scientist whose work focuses on Europa. He's hopeful that Hesse and his fellow researchers have solved the problem of oxygen in the frozen moon's oceans.
The Clipper is the first mission dedicated to Europa. We think we know many things about Europa that we haven't been able to confirm. The Clipper is designed to address three larger objectives:Investigate the moon's geology to understand how the surface formed, including the chaos terrain. That last point speaks to the potential transport of oxygen from the surface to the ocean. The Europa Clipper will carry ten instruments that will work together to address these questions. is particularly interesting when it comes to oxygen transport on Europa.
