I show you one of the most enigmatic worlds in the solar system, Jupiter's moon Europa, because nasa has announced that it has started assembling the Clipper ship that will be directed to the Europa moon, when it is fully assembled this ship will be as big as a The car and its solar panels will be big enough to cover a basketball court, something that it will need because it will need a lot of energy for its trip from Europe to the Jupiter system.

These are the images that NASA has published, showing the assembly work here, although we are talking about state-of-the-art technology, it is actually a craft work because it has to be assembled by hand, the assembly effort is being carried out in clean rooms in the agency's jet propulsion laboratory in southern california.

Engineering components and science instruments are beginning to arrive from across the US and from Europe before the end of this year with most of the flight equipment including a suite of new science instruments expected to be complete, scientists believe. that the moon Europa houses under its icy surface an internal global ocean with twice as much water as there is in all the oceans of the earth combined and what is more interesting, that surface ocean may have the right conditions to harbor life.

The ship will orbit the moon Europa, ideally drilling, but drilling the ice cap would be very difficult because they are kilometers deep, it is already difficult to drill the Antarctic ice cap here on earth to reach the lakes that are under the ice of Antarctica so imagine doing that same operation with drills but on a moon of jupiter there is an alternative we can try to see what the surface ocean has thrown out in question would be to be able to investigate the cracks and the sites where material from that surface ocean may have emerged, in fact it is believed that the red lines you see on the surface of Europa are believed to be salts and remains of that surface ocean that have emerged in those cracks, so a ship could be sent an explorer rover and analyze those remains that are in those cracks, there would be the key to find out what is happening under the frozen layer of Europa, in the same way it will provide us with a lot We have data and a lot of information about the moon Europa.

The spacecraft will perform multiple tasks on close flights to Europa to collect data on Europa's atmosphere, surface and interior, its sophisticated payload investigating everything from ocean depths and salinity to the thickness of the ice crust. and the characteristics of potential plumes that may be ejecting from underground into space.

If all goes well the ship will be launched in the year 2024 arriving at its destination in the year 2030, let's hope that everything goes well and we can finally find out what the moon Europa hides, there is life on that moon in that superficial ocean it is one of the great enigmas and mysteries of the solar system.
